Losing track of personal or sensitive data is getting easier, and riskier. Most of us worry about our online activity and information, so we sign on with VPNs, encrypt our web traffic, and take other measures. But the data on your machine itself is worth protecting too.

Hider encrypts and, well, hides the data on your Mac, creating a virtual vault for your most sensitive information. Passwords and AES-256 encryption protect each file you hide, guarded even from people with access to your machine. Hide and encrypt individual files or entire folders, create and organize, custom groups, and tag files to make sorting or filing hidden files easy. Additionally, you can make in-app notes for keeping track of passwords and phone numbers. All data kept in Hider can also be accessed instantly through a menu bar icon, or straight through Finder window. So if you’re looking for a way to protect and organize your sensitive files, this app’s for you.
