Secret 2.11 Last Update: 8/27/98

Secret offers fast and true DES encryption for Newton Notes. As long as you never forget your encryption password, you'll love this app.   After installing you will find a little "lock" button in your Notes options bar. In addition the action picker will be extended by 'Protect' and 'Unprotect'. These are present only if the selected note is unlocked.  The lock in the button line shows the state of the notes application. If it is locked, the notes marked with 'Protect' are not available. To open the Note, simply tap on the lock button and enter your password. This is a 30 day demo. The latest version fixed an empty strings as passwords problem.   Secret may also perform OwnerInfo encryption. Credit: Softwarebüro Müller.
