Easily create categories to store records, and even apply custom color labels and icons! Change the view options for each category to see the information you want, and even add your own custom data fields. Do not be stuck with a program which forces you to input your information into predefined fields. Enter the data you need to, not what you are forced to.
Aside from Data Guardian's easy to use Keychain integration to autofill passwords on web sites, it also offers a variety of other tools and features to enhance each record. Dial phone numbers through your modem with a single click, create new e-mail messages, generate secure passwords (based on an algorithm of your choosing), and even synchronize two databases.
Data Guardian is the ultimate database solution, and not only if security is a priority. Allow it to become your computerized Swiss Army Knife in an age of digital chaos.

The app has great features for managing categories and records, both individually and in bulk and its import and export tool is extremely flexible.
The app claims to make use of 'up to 448 bit Blowfish encryption', however the developer will not release any information about how the encryption is actually used to protect the datafile - such as how the encryption key is derived and stored. Implementing secure encryption is hard and much larger developers have made crucial mistakes. The developers of 1Password, KeePass and TrueCrypt have fully documented their encryption implementations and file formats. This dev should do the same. I personally would not use it for information which needs to be kept secure.

Very unprofessional and deceiving way of doing business by the developer.

Contact the developer for a free license and stop waiting for Apple's idiotic crap store approval process.

"Records with too many fields go off the screen when first opened."
Most of my records are VERY long... so for me this is extremely frustrating. I also, and STILL, have many small gripes with the program, but I consider them somewhat minor next to this issue.
I give this app a solid 4 stars, all things considered, I uploaded my first DB to the iApp today (which is free btw)! I had to unplug my ViPhone from my computer though before it would work properly... probably another bug. (Koingo- please don't respond to this post if only addressing my comment about the iPhone connection).
For my purposes (maintaining DBs for client information) this is the #1 app choice, partly due to my not worrying about cross-platform compatibility (should I need it with future clients). I just wish it was a little more polished after a 2.0 release.

I would prefer a direct integration with Web browsers though, instead of going through Keychain.
Overall, a great application.
