    CryptoPad features:

    CryptoPad is a MemoPad replacement that uses the Blowfish encryption algorithm to allow for encryption of arbitrary length data with a password of up to 448 bits.

    • Supports find operation
    • Uses the built-in MemoPad database to store memos that are not encrypted
    • Uses its own database to store encrypted memos for protection
    • Supports beam operation
    • Adds the OS3.5 and 4.00 features : command bar, security and COLOR function

    CryptoPad includes also specific functions :

    1. Global Password: Users have the ability to define a global password available for encryption and decryption of memos in a given session.
    2. Hide/Show lines: It is now possible to hide or show lines in the edit view at will.
    3. Use lookup field: It is possible to activate a lookup field to search for a memo in entering a few letters as the built-in Address application
    4. Find support: CryptoPad supports the find operation. Encrypted memos are searched for when the global password has been set in a given session.
    5. Beam support: Beaming of single memos or entire category is supported. For security reasons, encrypted memos are not eligible for beaming. Note that beaming a category will skip the encrypted records and leave them untouched.
    6. Multiple Fonts and COLORS: It is possible to outline particularly important memos with a different font and color for each lines. Besides, each memo can have its own font and color for edition.
    7. Move record on top: You have the choice to automatically make the last consulted record moved on top. Thus, the more consulted memos are always at the top of the list.
    8. Rotate between: Using the hard key, you can cycle through the categories. Now, you can choose either to go also in the "Unfiled" either to avoid the category "All".
    9. Important memo: You can check one memo as Important (in the Details form) and access it directly in holding the hard key for a few seconds.

    Request for developers

    The development of CryptoPad has lately been quite lacking behind because we cannot dedicate enough time and resources to this task.

    That''s why I would like to formaly send this request, so that CryptoPad can still be enhanced and be a popular application.

    I''m ready to release the source code of CryptoPad as an *open source* project, under the GPL. I think this will create the momentum CryptoPad needs to attract developers.

    Besides, I would like to set up a web site to host this project. This web site could also be developed as an open source project, using popular tools (PHP, mySQL, etc.). A web site could have a forum for developers and things like that. It is well possible to use already existing infrastructures for a start (eg. SourceForge).

    With this infrastructure, we could publish regular updates and accept contributions and discuss technical matters...

    If you would like to discuss the terms and conditions under which CryptoPad could be released as an open-source project, or if you would like to discuss the license; If you are a developer or web designer and you would like to help set up a project like that, please contact me so that we can arrange something.

    Cheers.

    I have used Cryptopad for over 5 years now. Excellent program for securing data. I much prefer the memo style field approach, as opposed to other fixed field secure programmes. Cryptopad is simple and it works flawlessly. Many thanks.

    Excellent replacement for memopad, still the only choice if you want something to store encrypted notes. No problems in about five years of use.

    Works great, just as advertised. Enabled me to encrypt memos that I don't want just anyone being able to read. Great job and free too!
