The Memo application on Palm lacked a real security feature. Sure,
there is a "Security" option to protect selected memos for privacy.
But all it does is just "hiding" the memos.
By no mean the memos are protected from any experienced Palm user to read them.
Back in the old Palm III days, I started using a
free application called Safe. Its interface is exactly like
the build-in Memo application, and I believe it is because
the application is based on the modified source code of Memo.
Safe different from Memo in just one feature: the ability
to encrypt the memos. A user pick a password at the first
run of the program. Then individual memo can be selected
for encryption.
One thing I liked the program is that since the
encrypted memo can be synchronized to computers,
I can decrypt the memo easily. In fact, I actually wrote
a desktop Java application so that I can decrypt and read
the encrypted memos.
I liked the program so much that I was still using it
when I switched to Tungsten C. But
recently I decided to implement something similar for
myself to use.
