Windows + Android password manager app - Desire General

Hi. Can anyone recommend a password manager which works with both Windows VISTA and with an app also on Android to read the same database.
I am looking for a portable Windows app, so no registry usage or dll's all over the place.
Thanks

Try SplashID.

That has all of the features that i am looking for except that it's trialware, is there anything opensource ? If not then i will prob purchase it.

I use LastPass (I guess this applies to what are you looking for).
Btw, premium version ($12 annually)

Keepass (keepass.info) works for me. It does everything you need (portable app, android app, cloud sync of keyfile)

[Q] Best Finance app..............

Whats the best finance app? I need somehitng that keeps track of my per diem. I did see an app called PerDiemFY09 on the Iphone. http://www.appsafari.com/finance/8425/perdiem-fy09/
Something like that would be great. Thanks
I use SPB Finance for normal finance tracking and per diem. It can synch with MS Money and Quicken, although I haven't done that before. It also keep tracks of several (bank) accounts and can work with different currencies.
Yeah, I have that but have not explored it yet. Can it automatically sync with my bank account? Also, can it keep track of all my expenses? I travel 97% of the time & need to keep track of per diem, fuel, meals, hotel bills, etc.
The website of SPB (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/finance/) does mention that it supports OFX/QFX file. It hasn't worked for me though yet and this needs to be performed manually so far I know.
I can recommend IneSoft Cash Organizer 2008 Premium.
It has OFX file import for bank synchronizer NEW for the latest version.
I don't use the Bank sync feature but have used the program for years.
only for online banking but that can this tool perfect.
my personal choice is
Subsembly Banking

perfect secure way to manage your bankaccounts.
Alwase Pocket Quicken.

I'm REALLY interested in this, as I'm a long time Quicken user, but I'm reluctant to splash out £35 without being able to trial it first.
Does it integrate well? Is it easy to use and see?

Thinking about moving to android, few questions...

Im thinking about moving from WinMo to Android. If you could help me with few questions...
I dont use any Google services, no gmail as I rather use myowndomain.com... I want to sync with Outlook via usb (bluetooth, yeah maybe but usb would be better); contacts, calendar and tasks... Is there good sync software out there?
The main reason for me to have a smartphone for a cell phone, is so I dont need always have a laptop with me. This brings me to opening and editing office apps; I found "Documents to Go" that seems to be OK, anyone using it?
To me its also important to automatically sync folders while syncing with Outlook, any good programs for that? Ive been using MobSync with WinMo and I guess it could work with this too? I found also Microsoft SyncToy, never tried it though...
Can I get my tasks listed on Android today screen like on WinMo? I need to have be reminded of my tasks, otherwise I would spend ½ of my day reading at XDA and not doing any of the things Im supposed to do...
Any comments and help is appreciated... Thanks!

HTC Sync comes with the phone, I also had some contacts stored on my company mail but I've started migrating to gmail because the really really neat integration and extremely useful features.

Yes you can, there are vagarious free apps on the market that even offer feature widgets/notes for the screens
Hi there!
Did you already buy a Desire? I've used winmob before and you sound like you're totally schooled at Outlook with usb sync. HTC has exchange service support and you can sync through usb, It was long time ago since I ever used active sync but a friend of mine use it on Desire and he was not satisfied.
There is calendarpad that can show on start screen as activities or regular day view. Editing documents are thought to be done through Google docs as it is thought to be faster than a full scale office program on the phone. You can other wise get quick office premium for editing offline.

[Q] Installing apps without Windows Live account/access to Marketplace

Hi,
As per title. Is there anyway to install apps without accessing and downloading them from the Marketplace? All I need is an PDF reader that I can install on multiple devices and was looking to see if there is a simpler solution.
Thanks for reading.

Installation of applications must be done through the Marketplace, and access to the Marketplace requires a Windows Live ID.
So at the moment, this is the only solution.

Ok, thanks prjkthack.
So I guess I just set up one generic Windows Live ID for the devices. Would there be any issues with this?

Yes, I've read that the first Live ID is also used with other Apps. The next ID can be used too but only for certain Apps.
EDIT:
Reading it back it's very cryptic You need to investigate this more..

Only the primary Windows Live ID is used for Marketplace downloads and purchases. So whichever Live ID you sync first, that will be the one where your downloads and purchases will be linked to.
Additional Live IDs only sync Email, Calendar, and Contacts. Primary is used for everything else (Xbox, Zune, Marketplace, etc.).

Google Tasks for WP7 - Needed?

Hi, I'm the developer of GogTasks for WM6.5 (thread on this site). Do you guys think there is a demand for a similar app for Windows Phone 7?
The reason I ask is that I'm not very familiar with the platform from a user-perspective myself. I've developed one app for it, but I'm not a daily user of a WP7 phone. Are there tasks apps bundled with the phone, and if there is, does it have any integration with a) Outlook or b) Google? (I'm pretty sure the answer is no on b) at least).
Also I believe apps are not allowed to integrate with Outlook on WP7 (the API is blocked for third party developers), so I believe the app will be more of a Google Tasks front end than a sync app. Still I may benefit from the API reverse engineering I did for GogTasks for WM6.5 / Desktop Outlook, but is there a demand for it?
Appreciate all input.
Ohhhh yes, would be a cool addition. I can sync my Outlook Tasks to Google via gSyncIt Addin for Outlook and then comes your app for WP7. At this time there are some ToDo Task Apps available, but no no one with Google Tasks Support.
i second that!!! I used g tasks when i had android but no such luck on WP7
I also missing the feature of google tasks on my wp7!
Unfortunately so far there is no wp7-app for google tasks.
I would also love a good google task app with a nice live tile.
Go for it
Ok thanks for your feedback. Maybe I should go for this, but there is one bump in the road - I just rememebered why I haven't done this before :/ ...Microsoft declined v1.1 of GogTasks for WinMo 6.5 on the marketplace because I use a non-public, non-supported WebService API (Google is about to release an open version of the API soon, but we never know how long that will take). I might try to publish anyway and see what happens.
redman99: What kind of info do you think would be relevant on the tile? Whether or not you have any tasks due today maybe? Or the date of the next due task? What if you have no tasks with due dates? Just a static icon?
This has kind of been done before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931316
Google supports the Exchange model now and sadly behaves better in this regard than Windows Live Mail/Hotmail. No flagged items, etc is a real PITA.
What you likely have to do with that app is set Google as an Exchange sync, not its normal email type. If Bring the Wine can pass marketplace approval using what I would expect is a somewhat undocumented Exchange API, I would think you could. Especially don't let a single submission keep an idea from being presented because apparently the certification process while rigid can be somewhat of a crap shoot.
Having said all this, Google Tasks do work in the IE browser I believe. They're not perfect but it was a decent stop gap for me. Now I'll try out BtW and if you do release your app, I'd give it a go as well.

I'm pretty sure Google's exchange sync protocol still does NOT support tasks. Have you tried this?
gTasks - Google Task Manager - Just released

Thanks for the heads up. This probably means there's no point in me going forward with this.
Anyone care to test the app? The irony of being a developer from Norway is that I can sell apps, but not buy or download (yet).
Yes i have tested it. The App works, but it needs some developing on it. there should be a option to automaticly sync the entrys and as a startpage i would prever a list of the avalaible lists, to choose from. after choosing the right list, i would like to load the items for this particular list. i hope its clear what i mean.
btw: there is WIndows Marketplace Tool, where you can download and deploy any app, also when you are not a member of the country. so i can download apps for the us marketplace also, if im a german user. i dont know the name of the program yet, but it is somehwere here in the forum.

GooTa - an app for google tasks on windows phone
i also really felt the lack of google tasks on windows phone. i'm a heavy user and really love the nesting of tasks and how lightweight it feels in gmail.
and i didn't think that the gtasks app above me quite fit my needs...-_-
so i tried writing my own! check it out:
windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/49fd8ee0-7a38-426e-b674-7ccff5922333
it's called GooTa (google tasks).
let me know if it's missing anything you want -- there's a feedback link in the app. i hope this fits your needs! and if not, let me know and i can add whatever it's missing so it does

Looking for a password app

I got too many damn passwords at work. I would love an app that I can use to put in my passwords, that is itself password protected.
Hopefully something that can backup to dropbox or something like that.
Any ideas?
I know you've see all the 49¢ app posts. I think you'll find it there

Yea, saw one there, but that requires a $20 desktop app as well. No thanks.
Really! $20 that's the catch , but would you want something free protecting your bank and credit passwords

it does not require the desktop app, it works by itself
http://keepass.info/ best I've ever found. Open source, you don't have your passwords stored on anyone else's servers, you can add a 'key file' and on and on. Oh ya IT'S FREE!

Try mSecure.
Mi nuh tek intimidation
Loaded up Pocket, which seems really nice, even has a desktop client I can use. Stores the encrypted file on dropbox and can sync between the two.
I would suggest Keeper ( and its free ).

I pay for Lastpass. $12 per year. I use it on all my desktops and mobile devices. I like the lastpass dolphin browser plugin and it autofills user name and password for me.
At work, IT uses keypass for all of their secret data so I have that on my phone too and and I keep the database synced up with a file syncing program.

I can't live without this app. I love the desktop version. Best of all, it's FREE!
Install this app, save the database file to dropbox and you can access/sync all your passwords on your phone and desktop.
How safe is using an app like this on a rooted device with a custom rom?
