For several days, one of the most popular posts on
Yahoo! is related to the few useful
tips on how to improve your productivity while working with touchpad of the
mobile computer devices and smart phones. That is quite understandable as more
and more new features are introduced in the modern gadgets, and more our daily
tasks are delegated to them.
The post reminded me on a very different topic –
safety of your most sensitive information. Think about possible consequences of
your pictures or notes to be found by somebody you would rather not share this
information with. The outcomes may range from slight confusion to compete
disaster. So, you need a virtual “safe” on your smartphone to keep there your
private and touchy information.
Today, I would like to present a relatively new
application for iPhone and iPad with very characteristic title: My Secret
Folder. My Secret Folder's icon looks like an iOS Folder (that's because
its designed exactly the same) but what it actually is, is a private, passcode
enabled app that stores pictures, movies, notes, contacts and a bunch of things
you don't want people to accidentally stumble upon. It even has a porn mode
browser!
But probably best of all is if someone accidentally opened
the app and entered the wrong passcode, the app will snap a picture of the
culprit, tag a location to the incident and keep it on file for when you
return. Feel free to carry your "sensitive material" on your iOS
device from now on, as you are the only one who has access to it.
So, if your iPhone is stolen or used by a stranger, it will
take snaps of that person while using your iPhone. It’s not enough as it will
take spying actions like mailing you about the location of your iPhone or iPad.
Hence you can locate the thief and can get back your stolen iPhone.
While the application has some extra interesting features,
the few, described above are already sufficient for privacy oriented users to
try the application. The PRO version costs $0.99 for limited time in iTunes
store.
