keep a copy of the db on your phone. I set up syncthing so the “cloud” I back up to is just my phone. You can obviously use other methods too for redundancy. I also use keepass, so my database is in my control.

if only I can access it anyway, why the hell does it need to be on a blockchain in the first place? I still don’t want everyone to have a copy of it even if it is encrypted. Nobody else should ever need it. I’d rather just sync that data between my own devices, and not everyone else’s
