  • Sync via Google Drive
  • A brand new iPad application
  • Auto-lock for STRIP for Windows and STRIP for OS X
  • Configurable field masking to hide sensitive data from view
  • 40 brand new professionally designed icons 
  • Improved synchronization speed
  • Improved database security and tamper resistance
  • Many other improvements and bug fixes

The new version of STRIP is available immediately for all platforms: iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, and OS X. Read on for a full list of changes.

Introducing STRIP for iPad

We’re especially proud to release a new native version of STRIP for the iPad, with all features optimized for your tablet's interface.

 

Checkout STRIP for iPad in the iTunes App Store

Important Note: STRIP for iPad is available as an optional separate purchase from the App Store. Please be assured that we are still very committed to STRIP for iPhone, which has received all of the same feature updates in STRIP 2, still works on the iPad, and will continue to be a core supported STRIP platform.

Important Upgrade Notes

Instructions for updating each STRIP are available on our FAQ.

  • Please backup your mobile devices and desktop databases before upgrading, either via WiFi or Dropbox.
  • After the upgrade, password and PIN fields will be masked by default using dots to hide your most sensitive data from onlookers. You can quickly reveal these values, copy them to the clipboard, or disable this feature globally. Learn More about Masking »
  • To improve security and accomodate service updates you will need to reconfigure Desktop synchronization in OSX and Windows under the Preferences Window after upgrading. Learn More about Syncing »
  • When you log in to STRIP 2 for the first time the database format will be updated. Due to database file and feature improvements, STRIP 1.x will not sync with STRIP 2. Therefore, you should plan to update all of your devices and applications to STRIP 2 at around the same time. More information is available on our upgrade FAQ.

Goodbye, StripSync

Finally, we must announce the final end of support for StripSync, the old and venerable backup application that was officially retired in May 2012. While StripSync continued to work over the past year, the new version of STRIP breaks compatibility in order to provide new features and security improvements.

STRIP mobile customers using StripSync can now backup and synchronize multiple devices for free using Google Drive or Dropbox. Users interested in a desktop application are encouraged to check out STRIP for Windows and STRIP for OS X which provide a full-featured editing interface plus support for both WiFi and cloud synchronization. Learn more about replacing Strip Sync ».
