DESCRIPTION
Data Guardian... Security and privacy are two of the most important issues in today's world; leaving passwords on sticky notes around your computer simply will not cut it anymore. Data Guardian is a secure database application with up to 448-bits of Blowfish encryption - regardless of how sensitive your data is. Create multiple databases in Data Guardian for a variety of purposes such as an address book, customer database, christmas shopping list, journal, password manager, or even notepad.

Easily create categories to store records, and even apply custom color labels and icons! Change the view options for each category to see the information you want, and even add your own custom data fields. Do not be stuck with a program which forces you to input your information into predefined fields. Enter the data you need to, not what you are forced to.

Aside from Data Guardian's easy to use Keychain integration to autofill passwords on web sites, it also offers a variety of other tools and features to enhance each record. Dial phone numbers through your modem with a single click, create new e-mail messages, generate secure passwords (based on an algorithm of your choosing), and even synchronize two databases.

Data Guardian is the ultimate database solution, and not only if security is a priority. Allow it to become your computerized Swiss Army Knife in an age of digital chaos.

ROY VAN DER WONING  It would be great if the frequent updates to this fine application could be handled via Sparkle instead of the laborious (by comparison) [download DMG/reveal DMG in Finder/mount DMG/close active app/drag new version from DMG to Applications/unmount DMG/delete DMG/restart app] cycle.  (Version 1.3.8)

CORPSECORPS  Quirks list:

* -- GOOD --

It's possible to set prefs to load ALL

preset values for a new record, or

JUST menu and slider values.

-- BAD --

When setting an EXISTING imported

record to conform to a Preset while

prefs are set to load Preset values,

the existing data is OVERRIDDEN!

* Every time one brings up a Record window, it's in the same place, instead of where you had the last one.

* Record windows must be explicitly closed with the widget or command-w, rather than just clicking 'save', even though the record window cannot be used to browse other records, so cases when it needs to remain open after saving aren't all that common.

* Though creating a new database is much LESS likely than creating a new default Preset record, the easier keyboard shortcut (command-n) goes to the database, while the more difficult one (command-shift-n) is for the record.

* Can't remap the keyboard shortcut for creating a new blank database or a new blank record using Apple Prefs because BOTH menu items are in submenus and have the name "Blank".

* Import into a Menu field doesn't create the menu items (more of a wish)  (Version 1.3.6)

CORPSECORPS  Data Guardian has vast advantages over the awkward, "Steel" which i used for the last couple years. The flexibility of DG databases and it's vastly superior UI are a big relief.

However, having had to import my exported Steel database from a simple tab delimited text file, i was made acutely aware of some less-than stellar import performance.

Some tweaking of the text file before hand was necessary before DG would import it without garbling it due to some text fields having 'CR' line endings within them, which DG failed to ignore though it was supposed to be looking for 'LF's as endings.

Still more work was required after importing the text file because while fields can be specified to fill with the data, DG doesn't assign a specific category template.

Using "Bulk Edit" to assign them had a few glitches also. Also, i wish "Bulk Edit" had more editing criteria, in general.

I found it a bit annoying that DG required the use of the "Quick Browser" window rather than just allowing browsing with an open record window. I kept looking for "Next/Previous Record" buttons.

While i find this to be a far more satisfactory application than several others i've tried, DG is NOT without it's rough edges and a few odd behaviors.
