Hider 2 does a lot of work to make encryption and file visibility uncomplicated matters for average Mac user who may not necessarily know what encryption is but can understand the idea of “protecting files”. From a visual standpoint, Hider 2 looks nice with its dark background and UI elements, which is a welcome complement to the app’s otherwise boring technical premise. MacPaw is using AES–256 encryption, and upon first launch the app will ask you to create a new vault password (a process similar to 1Password 4) in a screen that has a nice lock/unlock animation. Hider 2 works by creating a password-protected vault where files and text notes will be encrypted and stored. For the past week, I’ve been trying MacPaw’s Hider 2, a new app that wants to unify and streamline the process of hiding and encrypting files in a single, intuitive interface. I try not to be too paranoid about the security of files I keep on my Mac, but I do enjoy the peace of mind provided by encrypting some work documents when necessary, hoping that there will be an extra layer of security for those files in case of disaster or device loss.
