Secrets: A Beautifully Simple Password Manager, Now Free on the App Store [Sponsor]

Secrets is a simple, secure password manager for Mac and iOS. With version 2.0 released this week, the app is adopting a freemium model so you can try it for free on all your devices.

Secrets lets you securely store confidential information such as passwords and bank details. The app leverages industry-standard encryption algorithms to provide secure storage, plus macOS and iOS native features to automatically fill logins on webpages. Thanks to an action extension for iOS, you’ll be able to log into your favorite sites directly from Safari. The app can also generate one-time passwords for services that support two-factor authentication.

At the same time, Secrets has a clean and beautiful user interface that is easy to use and functional. Logins are displayed with rich icons, which are also synced across all your devices with iCloud.

With version 2.0, Secrets is now based on a freemium model: the app is free to download and use with up to 10 items; with a $9.99 In-App Purchase ($19.99 on macOS), you’ll unlock unlimited items and iCloud sync.

Try a Mac Server with MacStadium [Sponsor]

MacStadium is the premier Mac hosting company that provides dedicated Mac hardware and private cloud. They have thousands of Macs in multiple data centers where your hardware is secure, always available, and supported by a full team of Mac experts.

In addition to an established Atlanta location, MacStadium has recently opened data centers in Dublin, Ireland and Las Vegas, NV. You might be familiar with Mac hosting in Las Vegas thanks to Macminicolo, which has been operating in that location for over a decade. MacStadium and Macminicolo merged earlier this year, joining forces as a single Mac hosting company with excellent uptime and technical support.

MacStories has been hosted on Macminicolo’s hardware for years now, and I can personally vouch for this service. It’s one of the best decisions I ever made for this website.

The best part is – MacStadium continues to find ways to improve their offerings, like their recently patented Mac Pro chassis sleds. Or if you don’t want to rent Mac hardware but send your own, you can do that too. There are plenty of use cases for Mac hardware as a remote server – whether it’s for personal backups, automation, continuos integration, or services like Plex.

The folks at MacStadium are running a new promo you can sign up for until August 28. You can trial a Mac mini in their data center for a full month at no cost. On the signup page for rental Mac minis you just choose the location, the hardware, and signup for the trial using coupon code “SPREADTHEWORD” and you’ll be all set.

You can go check out MacStadium’s latest promo here.
