This is the first release of "TrustMe", a utility to manage sensitive data such as passwords and banking information and store them in an encrypted database.

It is available from the extras repository, the homepage (with more details and screenshots) is http://trustme.garage.maemo.org .

I am aware that there already are several programs that do similar things. TrustMe's main unique feature is that the database is automatically locked after 5min of inactivity.

Other features are:
  • Design goal of being tablet friendly: panel based GUI, keyboard navigation on the N810
  • Database encrypted with the Blowfish algorithm
  • Entries can be searched by name (incrementally entered) or category
  • An entry's user name and password can be easily copied to the clipboard
  • trustme can be invoked in command line mode to dump and restore the database to a plain text file
  • The same code runs unchanged on a Linux desktop

The implementation is in Python and uses the libgcrypt-py and libgcrypt libraries for encryption.

I classify the 0.3 release as beta, and have been using it to manage my personal information.

The following features can be implemented based on demand:
  • Support for multiple password databases
  • Configurable timeout value
  • Packaging for the desktop version (currently, you'd have to get it from SVN)
