Hi Jonny, like all web based applications the JavaScript code for your app is clearly visible to end users. You have the same options when using Gears as you would with a normal web app. This includes obfuscating your code and 'minifying' it to make it less readable. The one thing you can't do when using Gears is hide sensitive code on the server-side. There is no way to encrypt your JavaScript code from Gears itself. You could probably jury-rig your own client-side encryption, but it would be for moot since once the JavaScript was unencrypted an enterprising developer could just look through the unencrypted source in memory using something like Firebug.
