Inresting tool but I think Sober isn't open source yet, so until a full open source client comes out I'm not handling my account credentials to a third party tool.

Roblox itself isnt open source yet, so it wouldnt really make much sense if Sober open sourced itself. The Roblox client is still closed source. Also:
Why is Sober Closed-Source?
We made it closed source to reduce the potential for abuse (which would lead to Roblox blocking us again). Additionally, distributing Sober as a Flatpak also allows us to implement tighter restrictions in order to prevent any abuse.
Hope this helps out :)
I know Roblox is not open source that's not the point. The thing is avoid sharing my account credentials with a third party software, if that software is not open source you don't know how they handle that data.
