About this software
An information organizer built for efficiency and simplicity in mind, and with the ability to personalise the software to suit your personal life or company branding. This is an independent (i.e., not affiliated or controlled by Apple Inc., the government, the military, or any other organisation) solution designed to give you what you want, not what others think you should have. We also seek to provide a self-contained solution that can run without needing to be connected to the internet (so you are not forced to tell others whether you are online, who you are, whether you have registered your software, make excuses that someone is merely sending personalised adverts to you or making your experience in using the software a better one etc.). In that way, you are not twiddling your thumbs waiting for the software to work. Should the internet be available, additional information and features can be accessed and kept.
This software can be used as you see fit, for as long as you like. No restrictions in the number of records you can create or type of information you want to store and organize. Apart from handling contact details, this tool contains a variety of features, such as built-in function and statistic plotters, a calculator with scientific functions, send HTML and Plain Text emails (for receiving emails, we recommend CNS POP3it Pro), text encryption and decryption, keep track of important events in the calendar, archive all kinds of electronic documents (you have a choice of storing files externally, internally, or both), perform OCR on scanned documents (for Mac users on macOS 12.5 or higher), and more.
We also have add-on databases available for you to buy. They are there to help you separate and focus on more specialized information relating to your work, hobby or other activities and to expand the capabilities of your core free software. To activate these additional databases as well as hidden features in your core free software, grab a license key now.

To run our plug-ins on a Mac, we recommend that you use Get Info on the FileMaker Pro app and choose "Open with Rosetta". |

| 2024 v24.6 | Current phase of product development requires very little work to fix things. If you find anything out of place or not working (should be extremely rare), don't hesitate to let us know. In this update, we have updated Web related scripts for a more streamlined and refined process, greatly simplifying the scripts after noticing a couple of minor issues. Previously the scripts worked well, but as with some things that get implemented in FileMaker Pro and seems to work, after a couple of years and with updates to FileMaker Pro, certain things may not perform as expected. These latest changes are meant to simplify the scripts to ensure reliability in what they do for all future updates of FileMaker Pro. Among the added features the updated scripts provide is the ability to press Option key to not just enter a master password for decrypting authentication information kept about various login web pages, but also open independent Web windows (available in all Add-On databases). Use this feature to help gather data and make comparisons with the data in your databases simultaneously, or to keep a web page live and active all the time. Also, we have increased the flexibility of the Set Global Variable script to create any number of variables in a single script run and added the ability to specify "Commit" with the variable names in any position of the value list to help trigger calculations in fields and/or graphical elements on the layouts. |
