Switch from Hider2 to SimpleumSafe
Hider 2 by MacPaw was discontinued on 2019-07-10.
SimpleumSafe is a suitable alternative / replacement to Hider 2
SimpleumSafe is an encryption and document management solution for macOS and iOS and is suitable for both private and business use. Unlike Hider 2, files are not decrypted directly in the file system for use. SimpleumSafe has its own Finder and can work directly with the encrypted files. While Hider 2 at encryption and decryption leaves data traces on the Mac this is not the case with SimpleumSafe.
