Crashed on launch using 10.3.9.
Really like the idea... looking forward to trying a working version (1.2.0).

I can't comment as to the actual use of this app, but it's a really interesting idea. Personally, I have no need to encrypt anything. I think the UI isn't all that bad. It looks like a dashboard style app.

maybe i am misunderstanding this-- it locks down part of your computer and *only* your ipod can unlock it? what if your ipod is stolen or breaks-- is there a way to unlock your computer in an emergency?

This is a great idea, but the interface is butt ugly. Fix the interface!

Try to turn it off and quit a previous version first.
Then start newer version. 1.0.2 seems stable.

I've been looking for something like this forever. Does anyone know of any program like this that makes USB keys or USB drives work with the same locking function?
