One more step to unhitching from Google...

Right now the only option I see in F-Droid is Aegis.

I'm not sure what to actually look for side from checking for unexpected permissions and reasonably frequent updates.

Hopefully something I can sync with a GNOME app...

Same. Self hosting it sounds nice, and I self host a handful of services, but I don't want to be stuck without passwords in another country with a dead server at home because a power cut happened at some point.

Bitwarden caches your vault to your device, so you don't actually need a live connection to the server.

I had fault in my server this summer and my local bitwarden app wouldn't work without the connection. Same in my laptop, if the connection is blocked by the firewall it doesn't let me load the vault at all.

bitwarden works fine for me without connection, you just cant update/create passwords

Oh, that's actually good to know. I guess it makes sense for when you don't have a good connection as well.
