User-oriented macOS utility that enables you to password protect your data and hide your private data with just a few mouse clicks #Hide File #Secure File #Hide Folder #Hide #Hider #Protect
If you share your Mac with others, or you just can't trust people not to snoop around, hiding them is a good idea. Unlike on Windows, however, there is no easy way to hide files. You have to use Terminal, which isn't up everyone's alley.
Invisible offers a simpler solution, allowing you to hide files or folders with drag and drop. It uses the macOS hide function, so your files can still be accessed if a user knows what they're doing, but it's better than nothing.
The app features a minimalistic UI. To hide something, just drop them in the main window. The app applies the hidden attribute, which means the files will only be accessible if you have made hidden files visible on your system.
You can view all your hidden files at any time by launching the app. Quick Look previews are also available. You can enable password protection so that the file list cannot be accessed by other people.
The items you hide are not encrypted, and anyone can find them by just making hidden files visible on your Mac. While far fewer users know how to do this on macOS than on Windows, if someone is after your data, they will still be able to find it.
You shouldn't look at Invisible as a file protection tool, but more as a simpler alternative for hiding files than using Terminal. With that in mind, though, given the program's simplicity, you have to wonder if's really worth the price or if you're better off getting something that provides encryption as well.
If you're only looking to keep your desktop clean or make sure files aren't visible to casual onlookers, Invisible should do the job fine. It's certainly better than not doing anything at all, and it's easier than hiding files via Terminal.
