Invisible

Invisible is a handy tool for your Mac. If you share your computer with others or just want to keep some files private, this software is perfect for you. Unlike Windows, where hiding files can be easy, Macs don’t offer that option right out of the box. Many people might not feel comfortable using Terminal, which can make hiding files tricky.

Easy File Hiding

With Invisible, it’s super simple to hide files or folders. You can just drag and drop them into the app! It works by using macOS's hide function. This means that while your files are hidden from casual viewers, someone who knows their way around a Mac could still find them if they really try.

User-Friendly Interface

The interface is clean and minimalistic. To hide something, just drop it into the main window of the app. Once you do that, Invisible applies the hidden attribute to those files. Remember though, they’ll only stay hidden if you haven’t made hidden files visible on your system.

Accessing Hidden Files

You can check all your hidden files at any time by launching Invisible again. It even has Quick Look previews so you can see what's there without needing to unhide anything first! Plus, there's an option for password protection to keep prying eyes away from your file list.

Not Full Protection

Keep in mind though that the items you hide aren’t encrypted. Anyone savvy enough could easily find them by making hidden files visible on your Mac. While many folks don’t know how to do this on macOS compared to Windows users, if someone is determined enough, they can get access to those hidden files.

A Simple Solution

You shouldn’t think of Invisible as a full-on file protection tool but rather as an easier way to hide things instead of using Terminal commands. Given its simplicity, it’s worth considering whether it’s worth the price or if you'd be better off with software that provides encryption as well.

Good for Casual Use

If all you're looking for is a way to tidy up your desktop or ensure some files aren’t in plain sight for casual observers, Invisible does a great job! It's definitely better than doing nothing at all and way easier than messing around with Terminal commands.
