SMART Mobile – Coming Soon!

Very soon, we are planning to release a mobile version of the SMART Authorization Manager, called SMART Mobile. This application has been designed to work with Android devices (> 1.5) but it will work on iPhone and other smartphones too. Each app user needs to register at www.smartam.net and generate the API KEY using the provided API. This API KEY has to be then copied to the settings form of SMART Mobile. This applications allows the user to view a log of access history and access requests on his or her smartphone. This way as an owner of protected resources, you can always track and have more control of your data on the Web.

To obtain an API KEY you need to log into your account at www.smartam.net. Go to an account page, and generate your API KEY.

SMARTAM v2.0 – Public Beta

SMARTAM v2.0 (http://www.smartam.net) is a user-managed authorisation manager for aggregating, sharing and protecting your online data. It allows you to register any kinds of Web resources (e.g. documents, photos, videos, etc) and share them with people from the contact list. As a user of the authorisation manager you can store various resources at different Web applications, in this version: Facebook, Picasa, and Gallerify.me!.  Then, you can share these pictures by defining who can access them. All in one place, using a simple and friendly UI!
