Catching up on the forums after a pretty busy week; sorry I didn't see this until now.

Data encryption is absolutely something we're interested in providing, but in general - and in particular when it comes to adding new features - we feel that we're best off working on the ones that the greatest number of customers have expressed interest in.

For every request we've gotten for this, we have 4 requests for "Bring Forecast to the Mac" and we have 7 for "Make a web-based version of OmniFocus". Development work is a zero-sum game; time spent working on A takes time away from working on B. Adding encryption now means that many more folks have to wait longer for the things they want.

That isn't intended to dismiss the importance of the request, or the passion of the folks that do want this. We think this is a great idea, and we want to add it at some point. We just can't do it right now.
