Secure Memo

Whenever you stumble upon a text of interest over the web, you might want to save it to read later, either as a bookmark or text document. However, you might not want everyone to access that specific piece of text, and this is where specialized applications like Secure Memo come in handy, letting you equip documents with a password.

Customize background and font

The setup process takes only a little while, and you get to check out the set of features fast. Once it’s launched, a classic window comes up, resembling the basic Windows text editor. However, it differs in color, as you can change the background to any other color you pick from a palette.
Font can also be modified, with a settings menu showing up, letting you choose a different style, size, and even color for the characters you write down. Sadly, you only get to work with text, with no built-in options to import pictures, or any other kind of data for that matter.

Leaves more to be desired

Moreover, Secure Memo requires you to manually write down the text you want to secure, or copy it from other sources, because it can’t load any kind of file, not even plain text. The same can be said about saving text, with no export options other than the default, which creates a custom file that can only be accessed by this application, and it can neither be printed out.
Choosing to save your text inevitably brings up a password input field, so you can apply a security layer to your document. It can’t be left blank, and you need to remember it, because it’s the only way you can access that text string again. However, the application needs to be installed for the file to be accessible.

To sum it up

On an ending note, Secure Memo comes with good intentions, letting you create secure text documents through password protection. However, the text editor itself is pretty poor, while the lack of import and export options turn out to be a major impact on practicality.
