For over 20 years, Secret Folder has quietly supported everyday workflows. It is a practical and discreet utility designed to keep files and folders out of sight on your Mac, letting you build a private list of items and instantly toggle their visibility. This helps prevent accidental access, unwanted changes, and curious glances, without getting in the way of your work.
At its core, Secret Folder is about simplicity. Files and folders are collected in one place, easy to recognize and quick to access when needed, without navigating multiple Finder locations. The experience stays straightforward and approachable, making the app suitable for both daily use and occasional needs, with no technical knowledge or complex setup required.
Secret Folder is particularly useful on shared Macs. In family environments, it helps keep personal documents, work materials, or sensitive files hidden from children or other family members using the same computer. Important folders remain safely out of sight while staying immediately accessible to you.
In office and work settings, Secret Folder offers a simple way to keep internal documents or personal files hidden while sharing your screen. It reduces distractions and helps prevent the accidental exposure of confidential information during meetings, presentations, or everyday work.
The app’s approach is intentionally uncomplicated: people cannot interact with what they cannot see or do not know exists. This makes Secret Folder well suited for everyday privacy needs, providing practical protection without adding unnecessary complexity or changing how you normally work.
For those who share a Mac with colleagues, clients, or guests, Secret Folder adds an extra layer of discretion. Access to the app itself can be limited, and its presence can remain low-profile so its purpose is not immediately obvious. This makes it a natural choice for professionals who value privacy without drawing attention to it.
Secret Folder integrates seamlessly into your workflow with a clean interface and clear controls. Recently used items are easy to return to, files are recognizable at a glance, and managing your private list feels effortless. Everything is designed to stay out of the way, while remaining instantly available when you need it.
Notes about security
This app uses standard macOS features to make files and folders invisible. While this helps keep items out of view during everyday use, specialized tools may still be able to access invisible items. If stronger data protection is required, dedicated security solutions may be more appropriate. For additional information, see “Protecting information on removable media” in Finder Help.
Secret Folder offers a lifetime purchase, as well as one-month and one-year subscription options. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
