LockBox lets you store and protect sensitive info such as credit card numbers, bank accounts, passwords, pin numbers, private notes, and any other secret information on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

New! *You can export/backup data securely via a WiFi connection to your computer.

Looking for more? The Pro version is now available as well! The new Pro version will feature bulk data importing, stronger encryption, no ads and unlimited sub-fields per entry.

New: Check out our new, fun photo sharing app called Rotzy!

Use it to keep information handy and also protected at the same time.

All data is encrypted and protected by your secret code, so only you have access to it, even if you let your friends borrow your phone to make a call or browse online.

This is the kind of information that you want easy access to while you are on the go, but find it hard to recall just when you need it. For example, I always forget my bank account number right when I need to deposit a check at the bank.

Best of all, its free!

Important Update Note:

Remember to sync before updating to newer versions! You never know what might happen to your phone in the middle of a sync :-)

Apps make sure your secret data stays that way

by Rob Griffiths, Macworld.com

As just about everyone who has ever used one will tell you, the iPhone is truly an amazing device. With its do-everything abilities—especially now with third-party software—it’s the kind of device you’re likely to carry everywhere. And what better use for a device you’ll always have with you than to store important information—Web site logins, bank account information, social security numbers, insurance information, and more. As such, you may be tempted to use the iPhone’s Notes program to store these little tidbits of information for fast access.
