Seems strangely devoid of information... Am I supposed to already know what vesper is?

Vesper means evening or evening prayer

Which is presumably where Ian Fleming got the name for Vesper Lynd, the love interest in Casino Royale, for whom the drink (a martini with gin & vodka [usually an either/or thing with a martini] and lillet insted of vermouth) is named.

Vesper Lynd is a pun: "West Berlin", spoken with an accent.

( please note that my post is meant to give others another use-case for the Vesper app, and isn't an ad for a competitor product! ) I don't care much for a diary or travel book, but I do use DayOne[1] (for OS X and iOS) as a journal of interesting stuff I find (mostly on HN). Years ago I used delicious to save/tag webpages, after its stagnation I used other services (I don't even remember their names), then started t…

Looks like they have punted on encryption for over a year, which seems like a very weird and careless thing to do: 1. http://dayoneapp.com/support/passwords/ 2. http://iphone.appstorm.net/reviews/lifestyle/day-one-a-gorge... 3. http://web.archive.org/web/20120902234719/http://dayoneapp.c... The app looks really interesting, though, and I would probably have used it otherwise. Maybe now's a great time to address encry…

If encryption is your main requirement, you could try AnyLocker - http://anylockerapp.com

It's main selling point is that it encrypts all your data (notes, pictures) with SHA-256 before storing it on your device. Give it a try (Disclosure - i am the developer in the team that published this app)

Reviews/feedback always welcome...

Nah, I already have Ben the Bodyguard[1] for that.

I don't really use it, but I use a to-do app constantly, and miss a tool to continue writing on my projects' Markdown files.
