We’re thrilled to announce that our beloved information manager, Wallet, is now available on the Mac App Store! We just barely missed the launch of the store Thursday morning, thanks to some unexpectedly long review times, but we’re fully behind it - and now offering Wallet through the Mac App Store exclusively. Expect to see Pulp for Mac to follow when version 2.0 arrives soon.

What does this mean for existing users? Not a whole lot; we’ll continue to provide free updates to existing Wallet customers until the next major version. If you choose to migrate to the Mac App Store version (re-purchase), you’ll get slightly more convenient updates and installs, and help us further support future development of Wallet.

You might have noticed that Wallet on the App Store is version 3.2, a brand new update with some exciting new features. Don’t worry, this new version will be pushed to existing users sometime in the next few days. But what exactly is new?

Introducing Wallet 3.2 + Browser Extensions

AutoFill has always been one of Wallet’s best features. With just your Wallet password, you can automatically fill login information for any website you’ve stored in the app. While Wallet has had this feature for a long time, there has never been a way for it to directly integrate with Safari, until now.

Thanks to Safari 5’s official support for extensions, we’re now able to put Wallet right in your browser. The results speak for themselves:

The Wallet extension also tracks sites you’ve logged into (but haven’t yet saved a password for), offering a way to instantly save both the username & password to Wallet for future use.

Don’t use Safari? There’s an extension available for Google Chrome too, which offers all the same functionality.

Wallet 3.2 includes a bunch of other new features as well, including Dropbox syncing (by popular demand!), and a refreshed user interface. As mentioned, it’s available on the Mac App Store exclusively for just $19.99, and existing users will receive the update for free shortly.

This is just the start of an exciting year ahead for us, so stick around for more news in the coming months. If you have any questions about Wallet and the Mac App Store, please feel free to contact us!
