Your Mac's files are vulnerable
macOS doesn't protect individual files by default. Without dedicated file protection, your sensitive data is just one click away from prying eyes.
Anyone with access can open your files
Your Mac doesn't protect individual files. Anyone who uses your computer can access everything.
Shared Macs mean zero privacy
Family members, coworkers, or roommates—everyone can see your confidential documents.
Forgetting to secure files is all it takes
One moment of oversight and your sensitive data is exposed. Manual protection is easy to forget.
