I dont see the "manager" part in your zip archive..
More like a bunch of text files.. and you are doing the job of the manager
pass has a similar spirit, where passwords are just GPG encrypted files with some CLI glue on top.
You could achieve the same with an encrypted .zip file and a bit of bash, even if it would probably be less ergonomic.
