You don't have to manually sync, the phone app has a Dropbox/SyncThing/whatever integration so everything's synced automatically. On desktop, it's a file that you sync via Dropbox/SyncThing/whatever. Harder than a third party app, but if you're comfortable syncing files, then you can very comfortably use an offline password manager (I have for 10 years on my phone and the UX is basically the exact same as using my work appointed password manager).

I used to use a similar approach, in my case: KeepassXC + Google Drive. My problem though is that I got tired of the issues KeepassXC had when saving the database into the mounted Google Drive filesystem provided by Gnome (GVFS, from the top of my head). Basically, sometimes it failed, other times the database would be saved with a different name which was annoying, because then, when using Keepass on my phone or my other computer, I had to be searching for the most recent database file. After months of internal debate and research, I ended up migrating everything into Bitwarden. Despite the paranoid in me has days of "what the hell did you do!", everything has been great so far and it has simplified my workflow nicely.
