SplashID 4 for Mac OS released

We are very proud to be finally releasing the SplashID 4 upgrade for Mac OS. Thanks to all those Mac users who were patient and waited for this release - it was well worth it I think. 

Here is a list of enhancements:

  • New desktop views - Panel View and Tree View
  • Tree View on the handheld application
  • Enhanced security - auto lock-out after 10 failed attempts, password strength meter, and password hint option
  • Web Auto-Fill - one click to open a website in Safari and login automatically
  • Synchronize multiple SplashID databases (with other version 4 database files only)
  • Enhanced Lookup feature instantly displays relevant results as you type
  • Email securely encrypted SplashID files to other users (from the handheld application too!)
  • Add additional standalone desktop users
  • Change the database and auto-backup file locations
  • Toolbars give you button features where they are needed the most
  • Updated icon set with enhanced high resolution graphics
  • Fully Leopard compatible
  • Universal Binary
  • Note: Requires 10.4 or later
If you have installed a previous beta, you must export a backup of your data before installing the release:

File > Backup

Then quit and delete these files:

- Delete directory: ~/Documents/SplashID/
- Delete file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.splashdata.splashid.plist

Download the release:

SplashID Download Page

SplashID 4 Desktop will NOT pick up your SplashID 3 Palm database, but you should back up to be safe:

File > Backup

Once you have finished running the installer, launch SplashID from the Applications folder. It will no longer be in a sub-folder.

Since the Palm application WILL upgrade your database on the handheld, you will probably want to set the SplashID conduit to handheld overwrites desktop for the first sync after running it on the handheld.

iPhone SDK released

As you probably have heard, Apple finally released an SDK for the iPhone this week. We are very excited about this because we have had hundreds of users requesting an iPhone version of SplashID since the day the coveted device was released.

We originally planned to release solely a web-application version of SplashID, as that appeared to be the only option that Apple was offering (other than requiring our users to hack their phones). Now that we have an SDK, however, the future is bright for SplashID, SplashShopper, and SplashMoney.

So although it is a completely separate development project from the SplashID Online project, much of the design work we had done for iPhone and recent development of SplashID 4 for Mac will help us to hit the ground running with the SDK. We'll update the blog and the forums when we have a beta for users to look at.

If you register your email address with us below, we'll email you when SplashID for iPhone is available.

Email me when SplashID for iPhone is available

Thanks again to all of our loyal customers who have patiently waited for their favorite password manager to come to their [new] favorite smartphone
