Cloak 2.0
LatestNew
- Fake crash. When someone opens a locked app, it looks like the app crashed, so they never know it's locked. To open it yourself, hold Option and click Reopen.
- Lock apps at set times. Choose the hours and days an app stays locked, like games on school nights. The rest of the time it opens normally.
- Lock with a shortcut. Press your own keyboard shortcut in any app, and Cloak closes it and locks it right away.
- Lock from Finder. Right-click any folder or file in Finder to lock or hide it, without opening Cloak first.
- Use hidden apps without unhiding them. Open a hidden app straight from Cloak. It stays hidden the whole time, even while you use it.
- Change how Cloak looks. Pick from seven backgrounds: Glass, White, Dark, Bubble, Daisies, Night Drive and Sakura.
- Bigger or smaller text. Choose small, medium or large text inside Cloak.
Improved
- A fresh new look. A cleaner design, with a menu down the side and settings split into sections.
Cloak 1.1.12
Improved
- Your settings are safer. Cloak keeps a backup copy of your settings, so nothing is lost if your Mac shuts down suddenly.
- Restore with your fingerprint. If you ever reset Cloak, you can get your locked items back with Touch ID.
Fixed
- Getting back in. If your Mac's saved passwords are reset, your Cloak password or recovery key still lets you in.
Cloak 1.1.11
Fixed
- Folders in iCloud Drive. You can delete, rename and move files inside an unlocked folder that lives in iCloud Drive.
- Cleaner unlock box. The box that asks for Touch ID no longer has a strip around it.
- No Dock icon. Cloak no longer pops up in the Dock when it asks for your password.
Cloak 1.1.10
Improved
- More apps to choose from. Apps that sit inside a folder in Applications, like WhatsApp, now show up in the list.
Fixed
- WhatsApp. WhatsApp locks again after you quit it, even though it keeps running in the background.
- Closing an app. Closing an app's window locks it again. Minimizing it doesn't.
- Cancel. Pressing Cancel on the unlock box takes you back to what you were doing.
Cloak 1.1.9
New
