Just wanted to add a tip o' the hat to Alco for his long-suffering work on this, and URL Mgr. I've happily used your apps for close on a decade, and they were flawless.

Thank you.

Erm, I'm not sure I understand. I try to offer respect to a long time good, no, great dev and an excellent app, and my comment gets marked down for it?

No pleasing some people I guess.

After 2.5 years, we get a very minor update, still in PPC. A program that is not a binary in the winter of 08 is totally disqualified, especially when one considers that the competition kept the pace. I was waiting for an iPhone compatible version (as announced on the Web Confidential site), but I assume this may not be here for another few years. This time, I'm going to shop around.

Go back to sleep Alco. After years of neglect this former jewel has lost its sparkle. Anybody serious about passwords is with 1Password these days.

Too little, too late. I used this program for many years and it has been very useful. But its interface weaknesses have not been addressed for years. As a Palm Treo user who also needs a mobile version, there are other apps like SplashID, Yojimbo and 1Password which do the same thing with more modern interfaces and better features. After looking at these carefully, I selected SplashID as the replacement to Web Confidential and it has been a very happy transition. It's unfortunate that it came to this, as just some simple improvements to the application would have kept me in the family.

The developer site states that a new, Universal Binary version will be out this winter. Less than 10 days left before Spring and the temptation is getting really high to move from a software last updated in November 2005 to a more up to date program. Any news, Alco Blom?

This used to be a “must-have application.” However, it has not been updated for a while and definitely needs updating. Not only does it look and feel old, it also is somewhat antiquated in its usability and level of integration with other applications.

Written to developer Alco Blom at least twice with no reply. Alco used to fast and reliable in updating his apps... but whatever happened to him, I fear both URL-Manager and Web Confidential are dead in the water. Personally, I have started looking for alternatives such as BareBones’ excellent Yojimbo.

Excellent program (3.7.5), BUT: I've tried the program. I imported large data set and played with it for a while. It was PERFECT till the data file size reached 256K (over 1200 entries with a lot of notes) . The program crashed when trying to save.
(using OSX 10.4.2)
"Web Confidential .crash.log" reports:
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x7265717d


Is 256K the limit on the data file size?????

hank2 had trouble on 25 Oct 2008
Although it's still for sale on the website, I just got email from the Support link (palm@web-confidential.com):
"Web Confidential for Palm OS is not available anymore and support has stopped."


This was the response when I asked for help when the database had become corrupted in sync between my Palm OS PDA and my Intel mac.

Hosed the entire Web Confidential file, all gone.

Anyone have an alternative to suggest that will work with both Mac OSX 4.11 and higher AND with Palm OS?

And if possible a way to transfer several hundred records without retyping?
