Personal Info Keeper for iPhone (iPIK) organizes all your personal information in the most convenient way.

Use the application to store items such as URLs, passwords, account information, credit card numbers, postal addresses, or other text. iPIK provides a predefined structured template you can use as a sample and a starting point for storing your own personal data.

Main features

• Store different types of data. The different types of items you can use to store your personal data are URL, password, and text.
• Password management. Passwords can be generated based on your own rules, optionally stored in an encrypted format, and easily retrieved when required.
• Organize data. Related data can be stored in the same folder. For example, all the information about a credit card account can be kept in one folder for easy access.
• Data security. You can restrict access to your personal data with a master password which iPIK will use to strongly encrypt the data.
• Recycle bin. This provides a safety net when deleting items or folders as you can restore them back to their original location.
• Search facility. This facility allows you to easily locate data being stored.
• Exchange data with PC through iTunes. This makes it possible: backup private data; initialize data file for iPIK with one, created by PIK for Windows; synchronize private data between iPIK and PIK for Windows.

Organizing Your Personal Information

All Personal Info Keeper information is organized in a secure hierarchical structure consisting of folders and items. Each folder can contain any number of other sub-folders and items. For example, you can store all sensitive information regarding one of your credit cards in a single folder.
 

Managing Passwords

iPIK is the ideal tool for managing your passwords. A new password can be created manually or generated based on rules you have defined. Whenever you create a new password, the previous password is automatically saved in the password's history.
 

Storing Internet Links

You can store a URL for an Internet page you visit often. In the same folder, you may want to store additional information such as a userID, password, and so on, which are required to visit a protected page. The URL can be opened directly from iPIK by tapping the linked item.
 

Protecting Personal Data

You can choose either a security level of "Low", in which no data is encrypted, or a security level of "High", in which all data is encrypted. Storing data in an encrypted format requires you set up a master password to access your data.

Caution. If your master password is ever lost, access to your personal information cannot be restored.
 

Recycle Bin

When you delete an item or a folder from your personal information structure, by default, iPIK places it in the Recycle Bin. This provides a safety net when deleting items or folders in Personal Info Keeper as you can restore them back to their original location.
 

Search Facility

You can use iPIK’s search facility to search for the name of a folder, the name of an item, or the text contained within the value of an item.
 

Using Windows .pik file in iPIK

If you have a private data file created in Personal Info Keeper for Windows, then you can transfer it to iPIK. For this launch iTunes on your computer, add your PIK file into Shared files for iPIK application. Then start iPIK, go to Settings view and select the file transferred as current Data file. See also Apple support section for more information about file sharing.

Note. To find out name and location of your Windows PIK file, use PIK menu File->Properties.
