Patra 1.2
Patra is a Java password tracker more>>
Password Tracker is an application to keep your passwords in an encrypted file on disk, protected by a pass phrase so that they are safe.
Even if the file containing your passwords falls in the wrong hands, the pass phrase is needed to decrypt it. The application uses the unpatented Blowfish encryption algorithm which was invented by Bruce Schneier.
The encryption is reasonably safe. The application is based on the Password Safe application from Bruce Schneier, it aims to be compatible with it.
I started using the original Password Safe application from Bruce Schneier, which was a native windows application, and I still find it very useful. I try to maintain a number of different computers running different OSs. On Linux I am using WINE to run password safe. I didnt want to be "locked in" in an old format that I didnt understand, I was afraid my data would get lost at some point. Therefore, I wanted to be able to decode the file format myself to be able to recover my data if this would be necessary. Some things were bothering me a little bit regarding the application.
- No easy buttons to copy uid/pwd (both, not only the password).
- Cross platform - no dependency on WINE - PC, Linux, OSX.
- New password safe format 2.0.
- Import/export to plain text to prevent lock-in.
- Changing the password generating stuff, sometimes I need longer/shorter passwords with other requirements.
The current Password Safe project hosts a Java version as well but I decided not to investigate this solution further. I noticed that there has been progress on the Java version since I started my own implementation, but I did not investigate it further. These remarks are probably not valid anymore at this point in time.
- Code not clear and clean.
- I am a Java developer myself.
- Dependency on external libs.
So I decided to rewrite the complete application from scratch without reusing code. Simple to install, clean lean interface, a handy polished tool.

iFaces 1.1 is well-known as a powerful as well as reliable software that is created to help you display unread mail's sender pictures on your desktop.
It helps you determine if you need to actually open Mail and read the message (or continue working on something else). Inspired by the X11 xFaces program, this Cocoa driven program should make life easier--well, at least more chock-full-o-information on your desktop!
iFaces is free software. It falls under the name of donationware as the author needs to sustain his technophilia. Please donate if you find this program useful. One caveat is that iFaces may not be sold in any form or included in any package.
Major Features:
- Better Mailbox support
- Support for other Mail Readers? or Usenet?
- Add an option to only display emails from people in the address book.
- Alternate view: option to remove the iFaces panel and have the icon on the dock cycle through the pictures.
- Instead of displaying the same sender twice for 2 unread emails, display it once with an icon badge.
- Different transparency levels for the main window and the info (subject and sender email) window.
- The window moves as emails are read and added.
- Empty image appears for an email. Seems like a bug in retrieving the picture from a sender in the address book if the sender has not picture.
- Preference for max number of pictures iFaces will display in the list.
- Preference for new unread mail update interval.
