While we’ve covered apps in the past that help protect your data on iOS, but no other app does the job with as much flair as the just released Ben the Bodyguard.
Developed by Nerd Communications, Ben is a French bodyguard who’s sole duty is to protect and encrypt your data from unauthorized access. And the good thing is he doesn’t just protect photos and contacts, he defends passwords, notes and PINs! Another interesting feature is how he sends disguised push notifications to remind you of your secret tasks.
He’s got a distinct attitude, is full of interesting anecdotes and is quite opinionated. The developers have put a lot of hard work in bringing Ben’s character to life.
From the App’s official page:
Ben protects photos, contacts, passwords and other sensitive stuff on your iPhone or iPod touch. He’s your own personal security expert. Peace of mind on the go with a distinct attitude and opinion.
Ben’s guarantee — “Your secrets are safe with me.”—
