MACZERO  We wonder this company has abandoned the development for Snow Leopard. It has been almost 8 weeks after Snow Leopard released. And it has no updates for Snow Leopard. Buying this application is insane because it only supports to 10.5 Leopard only. Who else would buy this application today?! Crap and junk!

XHEAD SUPPORT  We have not abandoned development for Snow Leopard. A fully functional version for Snow Leopard is scheduled to be released early next week.

A simple email to us would have verified this fact. In the future, please check with us before posting a comment that is completely and utterly unfounded.

EGN  Perhaps a note on your website or a blog letting us know the release date and progress would keep all who are greatly affected by this delay informed. I enquired some time ago and was informed that it would be out "in a couple of weeks" but that did not happen. I am very much affected and no, the temporary solution will not do because I get tons of things to put into info.xhead every day. I have already had to move to MyApps to put my new software purchase info and serials there. This should have come out long ago. I am guessing you may loose clients (if not already).

XENOPHILE  This app is exceptionally polished and intuitive, and its feature set is well designed. If all Mac OS X shareware was this good, Microsoft's market share would be doomed.

Only problem for info.xhead is that 1Password leaves it in the dust. As a data manager, 1Password is a bit more robust, but where 1Password shines is in its web browser integration and development pace. 1Password works so seamlessly with web browsers that it's easy to forget it has a separate application, it's virtually invisible it works so well. And with every browser update, 1Password's developers issue a lightning fast update that just works.

Although dedicated to 1Password, I'm keeping an eye on info.xhead, because it's got the potential to leap ahead of 1Password, and the competition keeps both developers at the top of their game. info.xhead is also considerably cheaper - $15 versus $40 - but even a cheap mofo like myself recognizes that 1Password is still the better value.

XHEAD SUPPORT  Many thanks for the kind words. We just wanted to point out that although 1Passwd is focused on storing passwords, this is not the case with info.xhead.

info.xhead can store and encrypt any kind of textual information, passwords being one type of information that can be stored in it. info.xhead is extensible as it allows user to define custom categories for the information they'd like to store.

For instance, you can create a category for storing your Expenses, or create a category for storing your Cholesterol test results, etc. As such, it is a more generic database.

GETTIN_WHET  Info.xhead has become an indispensable part of my every day computing. The clean UI is straight forward and easy to use. Autofill, totally customizable, super secure with 448-bit Blowfish encryption, this product has it all. Oh yeah, their customer service is absolutely second to none. Info.xhead is an excellent product.

VAGABUNDO  After trying various applications for secure data management, I have settled with info.xhead. It’s simple yet powerful, full-featured and solid like a rock. What it does, does it very well.

It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of other application, such as loading app icons, for example, and this is another reason I chose it for. It looks less superficial and more discrete.

One thing I would like to see in a future update though: the ability to save files in its database. But this is something I can live without.

PAULNOJUSTPAUL  This is a really capable, elegant, flexible password manager.

If you're looking for an Address Book-like interface and a direct replacement for Web Confidential (don't get me wrong, WC still works fine!) then IMHO this is well worth a look.

WAYNE LEE  I had been looking for a good password/user details application for some time on the mac. I had also been looking for one that allowed me to either synchronize or backup to .MAC.

Probably the best thing about info.xhead is that it's fully customizable. You can create your own categories, and with the categories you can customize the way your entries will appear, allowing you to add your own fields per category. Ideal. Not every website has a username and password and not every, you choose what fields you want.

The application itself looks and functions very much like iCal and Address Book to a large degree, and MAC users will feel right at home with this application. It's not loaded with over the top features that will never get used, and it doesn't need, it does exactly what it's meant to do.

If you're looking for a password/serial number/user details application that you can tailor to your own needs, you would be foolish to miss out on info.xhead, especially at the low price.

As an additional note, I had an issue with my serial key and I had a response to my email within several minutes, very rare to find customer support like that!

TB101  I was looking for a reasonable application to store and access passwords and accidentally came across info.xhead after browsing dozens. This was exactly what I needed, it stores passwords securely and organizes them logically. It's a small app and leaves a small footprint. The autofill feature is great, find your account entry, hit autofill and you are on your way. Definitely worth it.

FRANCISCO BRICIO  I´ve been using Info.Xhead for about 2 years now and every time I have requested support, the answer comes within minutes! It doesn´t matter if it is Saturday or Sunday.

This is what support is all about.

HUTHPHOTO  WebConfidential was getting a bit out of date, so I was looking for something new and more customizable.

I tried the demo of info.xhead and after using it for a week with Leopard, I'm very happy and purchased it.

Killer feature is customizing the card info to match what you really want on a card, and adding/duplicating/modifying categories to match your needs.

It was a lot of work to get my old info out of WebConfidential(not comma or tab export options), but now that the info is in info.xhead, I can export as a CSV or tab formatted file (ensuring any future switch will go much smoother). info does a good job of importing, if you just have the right file format to import from (FYI, I 'printed' my WebConfidential list as a PDF, then hacked that text to ensure it was comma separated with exactly the same number of items per record... and that imported fine)

Feature I'd love to see is for me to input my favorite info (email and most common password) and have the app autofill it to a card when I'm starting to type it...and maybe a more forgiving import (if one record has too many or few items)

Good app, reasonable price.
