Genre: Productivity



Price: $2.99



Release Date: June 23, 2011


KyPass is an application for people with extremly high demands on secure personal data management.

It uses the same database than the open source software KeePass Password Safe.
Your database could be backed up with Dropbox, the best back-up service in the world (free accounts come with 2gb of space, enough for your KeePass databases)

KyPass saves many different information (user names, passwords, urls, comments, …) in one single database. The entries are sorted in groups. The integrated search function allows to search in the complete database.

The complete database is always encrypted either with AES encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. Therefore the saved information can be considered as quite safe.

KyPass is based on the work of QIang Yu on MyKeePass . But since his software was not updated for a long time, we made KyPass for all the people that use KeePass on their desktop.

★★★★★ UNIQUES FEATURES

- Dropbox support (two-way synchronization).
- Auto-fill username/password in internal browser !
- Universal application.
- Icon are displayed in view.
- All orientations support.
- Read/Write mode for .kdb and .kdbx file

By default, the databases have to be in the '/Crypted' folder of your Dropbox. This folder could be change in the settings.

Before giving to this application a bad evaluation, you could contact us via twitter @kyuran or via our support page.

TextExpander

SmileOnMyMac, LLC



Genre: Productivity



Price: $4.99



Release Date: August 25, 2009


2010 Macworld Utility of the Year. Type faster on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using short abbreviations that expand into long snippets.

With TextExpander touch, you create a library of abbreviation shortcuts for snippets of text that you use frequently, such as addresses, URLs, and standard replies. Tap that abbreviation, and it automatically expands to the full snippet. (You can even insert today's date automatically with the default abbreviation "ddate"!) New: Sync your snippets with Dropbox!

You can use your TextExpander touch snippets directly in over 100 apps that support it, including Twittelator, TwitBird Pro, Elements, Simplenote, WriteRoom, Circus Ponies NoteBook, DEVONthink To Go, BusyToDo, Things, and Zendesk. See www.smilesoftware.com/applist for a complete list.

Given the current feature set of the iOS, TextExpander touch cannot work in the background (as it does in Mac OS X), expanding text snippets while you work in another app, unless that app supports TextExpander touch.

Compose new email messages in TextExpander touch, using your snippet library of boilerplate paragraphs, email addresses, URLs and signatures. Automatically insert the message into an email in Mail or copy it for use in other apps.

If you use TextExpander on the Mac, you can also share the snippet groups with iOS devices over your local network.

"If you do a lot of writing and communication on your iPhone, TextExpander is practically required for efficiency." – iPhone AppStorm

Features:
- Compose notes quickly and easily that contain frequently-used text, addresses, phone numbers, email signatures, URLs, etc.
