We are very proud to announce the Public Preview of the brand new /epsilon version of our Password Manager application.

While working on the completely new version of the application, we have decided to start exposing some of its components to actual users, to validate their reliability.

A few days ago I stumbled upon this toot about a web site

[…] showcasing websites from the 1990s through the mid-2000s: Web Design Museum

This triggered the thougth that also Clipperz has been running since 2007, and went through a few major versions of its UI that tried to match the expectations of web users across more than 10 years.

It has been a long time since the latest update, but we didn’t have many news to share, also because our service has been running reliably for many years.

As announced a few weeks ago, we have migrated our servers to a new infrastructure.

You can now keep enjoying our service again. Let us know if you have any issue with the current setup.

As announced a few weeks ago, we are migrating our servers to a new infrastructure.

To do so, we will have to shut down the service for a few hours.

At the moment, we are planning to do all the activities next Saturday morning (September 28th), between 07:00 and 13:00 local time.

A few weeks ago we got a sad message from Joyent; they have informed us that they are shutting down their public infrastructure, where we have been hosting Clipperz since we started the project back in 2007.

A few days ago, one of our users contacted us to let us know that the IBAN included in our donation page was not correct and did not allow to send us some money; we have now fixed that information, and while updating the site content, we can take the chance to provide also some insights on how the project is going.

When dealing with security, boring is not that bad an attribute as it may otherwise sounds.

Clipperz has been running prettly smoothly lately, with some degradation of server-side performances we haven’t solved yet, but that is not so bad to negatively impact regular use of our application.

Nonetheless, from time to time some hiccups happen also to our smoothly running service; and last Sunday morning was such a time.

Clipperz is now re-focusing on beeing a great, free, password manager; in order to focus better on these goals, Blockchain related features (certificates) have been removed from the application.

Blockchain notarization features are now part of Marco newly incorportated venture and his shares in the company have been acquired by Imola Informatica.

Imola Informatica has been following Clipperz activities since the very beginning (Giulio Cesare has also been a former employee) and has always shared Clipperz core values and vision about privacy and security.

With its support, Imola Informatica wants to push forward the availability of privacy-respecting tools to everybody.

Clipperz is now managed by a board composed by Filippo Bosi (president) and Giulio Cesare Solaroli (vice-president).
