If we're talking about GPG, please pay attention to https://www.passwordstore.org/ which is really cool, open source password manager built on GPG.

I switched from OSX to Linux a few months ago and had to find an alternative for 1Password. Pass has been great, I love its simplicity.

Not having a browser add-on to retrieve passwords was feeling like a step back in terms of convenience though. That's why I built & open sourced browserpass [1], a browser extension for Pass.

It uses Native Host Messaging to securely retrieve passwords, so no crazy port listening as some other open-sourced add-ons do (which is a terribly bad idea).

Is there anything like this that doesn't leak the folder structure in plaintext? Manually obfuscating site names would be very tedious.

It's open source, you could always submit a patch.

Masterkey [1] might be interesting for you. It's using NACL and Go and stores everything in a single encrypted file.

How about KeePass?

I personally think it's a pretty good password manager (like all others, database sync is a problem for users to solve). I had been using its Linux port -> keepassx (also available for macOS - yes NOT Mac OS X any more...)

Features: http://keepass.info/features.html

I switched to pass / qtpass (cross-platform Qt frond-end for pass) after seeing it on hacker news (or somewhere else like Twitter) because it uses GnuPG + git (simple and I am capable of both in CLI). Last but not least, pass provides migration scripts from keepass/keepassx (and a lot more... - feel like I had to migrate ;-)

You may like https://github.com/bwesterb/pol which "is a modern command line password manager with deniable encryption".

And QtPass with it. https://qtpass.org/

In addition, there's a Android client for it as well, so you can take your passwords on the go:
