Download SecretBox for Mac - Encrypted password database. MacUpdate Mac Security Software Downloads

SecretBox... (formerly SecretBook) You can use SecretBox to store all sorts of information: Credit Card details, SSN numbers, Software Licenses, e-mail account details, product registration codes and serial numbers. All are easily stored in SecretBox's flexible database. Most people will use SecretBox for personal use, but businesses can also use SecretBox for managing their customers passwords or for managing software licenses.

SecretBox uses the industry standard 256-bit AES encryption to protect your data, but that is just the start. SecretBox takes extra care to never decrypt your information unless absolutely necessary. Simple tools encrypt the entire data file in one operation and therefore have to decrypt everything to view just one item. We go to great lengths to protect your data from all sorts of attacks.

Strong security does not have to be inconvenient. SecretBox puts you in control of how you want to organise your data. With unlimited groups and subgroups you can easily organise your secrets in a way that makes sense to you.

AMBERV Buyer beware!

These developers bought out SecretBook to develop this application, which is largely just a UI update. They tout such features as "sheets" as being modernised and improved. Further, they are refusing to support existing customers of SecretBook. My support request was very simple and probably would have taken a few minutes to address, but instead their response was simply: "We only help customers".

Any business that neglects a vital aspect (customer list) of what they have purchased is probably not safe to trust for other aspects of their business as well.

I wouldn't go anywhere near this company for any of their software.

VELGOR242 Not liking the new version. As a data application, I want to be in and out as quickly as possible. The cube animation is just a waste of CPU cycles. Also there are some glaring usability issues: the giant icons have to go--not all of us are running 27" iMacs. Also, the app still can't seem to remember how wide I want the sidebar to be.

XENOPHILE Nice, but...

Big league price without the big league features, and a developer with a relatively short track record.

For less than half the price, check out info.xhead for a serious encrypted database app. For $3 less, check out 1Password, which transparently integrates with all web browsers to automatically save and send any and all login info. 1Password's developers issue rapid-fire updates to keep their app working seamlessly with all Mac web browsers, and their customer service is highly professional, in contrast to that exhibited by the SecretBox developer in this comments section.

CLAUDE_CH the launch time is very long, ~20 sec before i see the window for login ?

i'm on Snow Leopard (10.6.1, Mac Pro with 12Go RAM)

NEOX $43.00? Really? That seems quite steep for this app. I bought SecretBook 3.x and 4.x when it was like $12 or something. I see nothing in this app that is worth $30 more. In fact as a SecretBook 4.x user, I have to buy it again to get this new "improved" version. Sorry, but I liked it when Jason was still developing. I don't like app4macs high prices. There are better alternatives like Koingo SW data guardian, which has a ton more features: http://www.koingosw.com/products/dataguardian.php

APP4MACSUPPORT This is not a fair comment as a license is for lifetime (you pay only one time in your all life). Plus the dollar is actually very very low and our price are based in Eurios.

NEOX @Dev

It's not a fair comment? It's my opinion that it isn't a great price. What's not fair about that? The value of the dollar isn't an excuse for the price. I am just simply stating my opinion that if you lowered the price to $20, which seems to be the "fair" price for this type of app, you may get a lot more people buying it. If you offered some kind of reasonable upgrade price for previous secretbook owners, again, you might get a lot more sales. Other companies are adjusting their price because of the poor exchange rate. Why not try that? Last I checked there were quite a few Mac users in the US...

APP4MACSUPPORT You forget that it's a license for LIFETIME. So you pay only one time. Other competitors charge for updates. So you cannot compare the price. We cannot also make an exception on the price just because the dollar is going very low (historic low level). Imagine the nightmare of developers: adjusting prices because of the level of a currency. We are running a promo until end of the week. 30% off with the coupon code HALLOWEEN. It's already a good deal and this is the kind of things we do to help american customers.

NEOX @Dev - While lifetime upgrades is nice, my experience with this is that most developers that have offered this in the past usually retract it at some point and start charging for updates. So I am always skeptical of this. That doesn't change the fact that I still feel the price is too high. I think you are the highest one on here for this type of app. How are other developers selling for $20, despite the exchange rate? Sorry but I don't buy your excuses and my opinion is not changing because it is lifetime upgrades. Further instead of acknowledging that it is indeed a high price for US customers, regardless of what the reason, you just argue and offer the old "we cannot adjust prices for region" excuse. Sorry that doesn't fly with me, you can adjust it for the US market if you wanted to, it is not that difficult really.

APP4MACSUPPORT Again you compare prices in the wrong way. Since 2004 (so now 5 years), we never charged for upgrade/update. As an example, take a product purchased in 2004 at $40. It's $8 per year! Sorry, but our customers really love this policy! We can offer temporary discounts when a currency is very low to help customers but we cannot adapt a price in real time based on the level of a currency. Nobody do that in the all world.

APP4MACSUPPORT To be fair, you need to the prices of updates of other competitors before to compare!

NEOX @Dev -

I think you misunderstand. I do not expect any developer or company to adjust their price in real-time for a given currency. But you can SET a price for a currency regardless of the exchange rate. And you keep saying I don't understand about lifetime updates and that I can't compare it to other apps that charge for upgrades. Well I can. As I said, lifetime updates are a nice thing, but it does not change the fact that I feel the price of admission is too high. To put it another way, if I want to use data guardian I have to pay $19.95. If I want to use your software I have to pay $43.00. Granted your software comes with free upgrades, I still have to pay that amount just to use it. Some people don't always upgrade their software just because a new version comes out, so you cannot assume that everyone just rushes to buy a new version. I am still using an iPhoto from a previous version. I haven't felt the need to upgrade. Look, I think we can agree that we are not going to agree. I shared my opinion on the price, and you don't like that or agree. That is fine and up to you. You have to be expected to get a little criticism now and then don't you? My intentions were not just to randomly complain, but just to voice my opinion, as a SecretBook owner that I don't agree with your pricing structure. No worries, my SecretBook 4.x version works just fine. I feel no need to upgrade...

APP4MACSUPPORT Ok, we got it. The entrance price level. Interesting point of view. You care more about the entry level than other advantages. We don't think it's the majority of people. Again, if the dollar was at the level of last year, you will not feel it so bad. The low level of the dollar is clearly a problem for us as it make our products more expensive. The bad economy too. Sorry about the misunderstanding, it's related to the barrier language.

DONPERREAULT When I told SecretBox 2 developers about the problem opening up the SecretBox 2 data, their response was

"try this password : a

it's a temporary tip until we find the origin of this issue."

I already trashed the application but I am concerned that you can bypass the encryption with the letter a. Haven't tried it but that was their response.

MACZERO 2.0 doesn't work. It enforced you to create a password during setting up a file. But the secret file could never been opened with your saved password. This application is junk and crap. Downloading it is just wasting you time. I trashed it immediately.

DONPERREAULT Version 2.0 doesn't work, it won't let me open the Secret files I create upon launching application, therefore I can't add any information to the database. BTW: I tried twice before trashing this application. Sticking with 1Password it still is the best of the bunch.

DOPPELBOCK I purchased the 50% off license for SecretBook users. I like what app4mac have done with the interface and the export/import of my SecretBook data was simple and worked perfectly.

Yeah, I can certainly agree that it is not really a necessary upgrade as SecretBook was/does still work just fine, but with free upgrades in the future I thought I'd support the developers future plans for the app.
