Password Pad allows you to create multiple note files, each encrypted by a different password. You can also synchronize your files to your Mac. New in version 1.2: - Added iCloud functionality for easy synchronization with your Mac. - Added integrated Dropbox functionality to easily copy files to and from your Dropbox service. The key feature of password pad is its simplicity, which makes it easier to use (no need to fill in pre-existing forms) and also allows it to be easily extended to other uses. Keep your data in the format that you want, not in the format that someone else has decided for you. Simple search for the data that you want to retrieve. Uses for Password Pad include: - Create and store important information, such as website passwords, app serial numbers and bank details, all secured by a single password - Keep a diary that others cannot read - Email encrypted notes (e.g. credit card or login details) that the receiver can open only with the correct password - Keep secret expense accounts - Write your next masterpiece and keep it safe from prying eyes - And many others! Read what our users have to say: “I’ve used other password management tools.... Password Pad has now replaced all of them. It’s just much simpler and faster to use, and I’m always finding new uses for it!” - Darren Keeth “I often need to secure more than just login names and passwords even for websites, and your app is the perfect tool for doing that”. - Amie Shy Security note: - The full version of Password Pad uses Triple DES, which has an effective key length of 112 bits. Each additional bit doubles the amount of time required to brute-force crack the password. A $10,000 machine would require approximately 197 trillion years to crack a Triple DES encrypted text. - Triple DES security is used by the electronic payment industry to secure your credit card and ATM transactions. - It is likely that the most effective way to crack an encrypted text in Password Pad is a dictionary search. Your data is only as secure as the password you choose.

# App Store Description (English) --- A camera app that doesn't save to your Camera Roll. Shopping lists, whiteboard notes, schedules, homework handouts. You want to snap a quick photo of everyday documents and info, but your Camera Roll keeps getting cluttered. Important memories mixed in with photos you only needed for five minutes - and before you know it, finding or deleting anything becomes a chore. This app was built to fix that. Every photo you take stays inside the app only. Nothing touches your iPhone's photo library. Keep your Camera Roll clean while managing temporary photos right where they belong. Delete them when you're done. Your Camera Roll stays tidy, with only the photos that truly matter. - When it comes in handy - Snapping a sale flyer at the grocery store or pharmacy. Recording what's on the whiteboard in a meeting or on the blackboard at school. Keeping a copy of your kid's homework sheet or school calendar. Holding onto a prescription, appointment card, or government form for a bit. Collecting receipts for expenses or returns. Until now, you'd shoot these with your regular camera, then try to remember to delete them later. But let's be honest - forgotten photos pile up by the hundreds. With this app, they never hit your Camera Roll in the first place, so the problem simply doesn't exist. - Core Features (All Free) - Camera and Import Shoot directly with the in-app camera, or batch-import up to 50 photos at once from your photo library. Share Extension support means you can save images from Safari, Mail, Messages, and other apps with a single tap. Comfortable Viewing Browse your saved photos in a clean grid view. Tap to go full screen. Pinch to zoom freely, or double-tap for 2x magnification - perfect for reading fine print on documents and timetables. A thumbnail strip lets you swipe through photos quickly. Manage and Share Delete photos one by one, or select multiple for batch deletion. Share any photo via the share sheet - send it through Mail, Messages, AirDrop, or any other app. iCloud Sync and Backup Automatic sync powered by CloudKit and Core Data keeps your photos in sync across every iPhone and iPad signed in with the same Apple ID. A daily automatic backup runs in the background, and you can trigger a manual backup anytime from Settings. If anything goes wrong, restore your data from iCloud in just a few taps. - Pro (One-Time Purchase) - Folder Organization As your photos grow, create folders to sort them by purpose - "Shopping," "Work," "School," "Medical," or whatever categories make sense for you. Rename or delete folders freely. Move photos between folders, or batch-delete multiple folders at once. Biometric Lock Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Every time you open the app, authentication is required - keeping your documents and private photos safe from prying eyes. You can also set a passcode as a fallback when biometrics aren't available. Toggle authentication on or off, or change your passcode anytime in Settings. Pro is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no recurring charges. Pay once and it's yours forever. - Your Privacy, Protected - Every photo is stored on your device and in iCloud only. Nothing is uploaded to any external server. Your photo data is never shared with the developer or any third party, so you can confidently save documents containing personal information. Built by an independent developer. If you have questions, feedback, or feature requests, reach out through the in-app settings or leave a review on the App Store. Your input directly shapes future updates. - In a Nutshell - A camera app that keeps photos out of your Camera Roll. Manage temporary photos inside the app without cluttering your library. iCloud sync keeps everything safe across your devices. Go Pro for folder organization and Face ID lock - more control, more security. Keep your Camera Roll for the photos that matter.
