I'm looking for a password safe I can run locally and access from a mobile app. It doesn't have to be open source, but I'd prefer something that isn't too complicated to set up.
What's a simple local password server with mobile apps?

Vaultwarden is worth a look. It's a lightweight self-hosted server that works with the official Bitwarden mobile, desktop, and browser clients.
A typical setup uses a container and a reverse proxy for TLS. You'll still need to manage the server and backups, but it's a relatively straightforward option if you want a server rather than a shared database file.

Does it have to be a server? KeePass or KeePassXC with a shared database file might be enough. You can keep the file on a network server or sync it through a cloud service for access away from home.
That gives you a different setup to manage, though. Check which mobile app you want to use and how you'll keep the database available on each device.

Passwordstate is another on-premises option, though it's licensed. If this is for a workplace, compare its licensing and mobile support against what you actually need before picking it over a simpler setup.

Passbolt is another one to check out. It's worth comparing its interface and mobile options with the other choices, since those may matter more day to day than the server setup alone.

Delinea Secret Server is another product in this space. It may be worth evaluating if you need something beyond a basic personal vault, although I'd check the current setup requirements and licensing first.

Bitwarden itself is another option to compare if you'd rather use its own server software and clients.
