Hello everyone!

Starting in the next release, the Bitwarden apps published to the various stores will be the commercially licensed builds. No action is needed, and the apps will work exactly as they do today.

Bitwarden remains committed to open source security and transparency
The GPLv3 OSS licensed version continues to be updated and published on GitHub
All current features are available in both versions
License details are on GitHub
Bitwarden remains committed to a robust, free forever plan for everyone

If you have any questions, please ask them in this thread. Thanks all!

EDIT:

Bitwarden is not going closed-source
You can still fork Bitwarden
No change to self-hosting, the licensing change affects those who are repackaging and reselling Bitwarden
The free plan is here to stay permanently

I'm not saying that's great news, but it doesn't sound like the self destruction move that some OSS companies have done recently. I wouldn't migrate away just because of that change. In the end, they have to find a sustainable mode of operation.

It’s 2026 and you have way too much optimism left after all the OSS rug pulls of the last six fucking years.

Even hardware rugpulled. Fucking Micron.

Forget it; BitWarden is cooked.

They are going to slowly strip features from the free version over time.
