Black Hole 1.3.1

Black Hole is a free and very powerful OS X app that will enable you to clear sensitive information from your Mac with a single click.

Black Hole will allow you to effortlessly automate many operations such as emptying the Trash, quitting applications, removing recent items from your apps' menus, and more.

Here are some key features of "Black Hole":

Quitting Applications:
· Black Hole can quit any number of applications with a single click on the "Clean" button. If an application fails to quit after a set amount of time, Black Hole can force quit it for you.

Clearing Recent Items:
· Using this option you can clear recent items from the File > Open Recent menu of most applications. Black Hole comes with a default set of rules, or you can create your own.

Emptying the Trash:

Unmounting Volumes:
· Black Hole is able to unmount volumes from your Mac, be it a Mac or Windows share, a USB key, an external hard drive, or a mounted disk image file (.dmg and others). This can be very useful if you store confidential information in encrypted disk images, for example.

Clearing the Clipboard:
· The clipboard can be cleared without question or only if some keywords are found within it.

Deleting Files and Folders:
· Black Hole can delete files and folders for you, bypassing the Trash. There are several options for configuring exactly what files to remove according to your needs.
