UberMask overview

UberMask hides files and folders on your Mac, quick and easy.

Use UberMask, a MacWorld MacGem 2011 pick, to hide your private data from curious eyes with cyberspeed. And there is no chance that your family members, collegues or friends stumble across your files and folders when using your Mac.

Even Spotlight will not find your hidden data!

Neither the Finder nor Spotlight will be able to detect the hidden data. You can always run UberMask to see which files are hidden thoughout your disks, to hide more files or to reveal files.

Hide all selected data with a simple key stroke

Choose a hotkey combination and activate it anytime to hide your data. The UberMask app does not have run or be launched for the hotkeys to operate. It works like magic and keeps your conscience clean whenever your Mac is used by someone else.

Mac|Life Rated: Good
If you're a secret keeper, ÜberMask is useful and inconspicuous. It's not hacker-proof, but it'll certainly keep your confidential files and folders safe from the prying eyes of coworkers, kids, or your partner.

For Mac Eyes Only Rated: 4 out of 5 Macs
If you have need for something like ÜberMask for simple file security, then I recommend giving it a try. Yes, this is something you could do on your own without ÜberMask, but this app makes it easy to do, meaning it's more likely you'll do it.

I had to reinstall OS X but Ubermask is not downloadable anymore through the hyperlink above. I found a copy of Ubermask using Google, but you can't activate it anymore as there is no connection possible to the Ubermask server. Ubermask apparently has been abandoned and we're left on our own so it seems... Thanks for notifying your customers, morons.

I had posted I had a problem with the 2.0.2 update. The support people were incredible! Quickly responded to my problem, we exchanged several e-mails as they guided me through a process to see if we could locate the missing file. Did not find it but it was an inconsequential one because I was experimenting to see how the program worked. Helped me with another question. Did this over several days. Excellent support. Great little program. I highly recommend both the program and the developers! Don't know if my erroneous clicking the stars posted or not. This is the actual one.

I'm definately interested in the new multiple partition and volumes feature, but is there an upgrade fee from version 1 to 2.0? Dev's website doesn't seem to mention this.

Wow. I thought this was a good program but it didn't work on partitions/drives separate from the OS. For me, that was a deal breaker. This obviously passionate developer solved that problem with a very cool update. It's blazing fast and brainless to use.

This appears to be a good program fairly well executed. However, it's almost useless for me because IT ONLY WORKS ON THE SYSTEM VOLUME. I realize not everyone utilizes partitions for ease of backup, maintenance, etc., but I do and most of my sensitive data is on volumes other than the OS volume—the same drive, but different partitions. Glad I got this on sale!

So, hab eben dies Programm gekauft, hatte anfänglich einige irritierte Momente doch nun wird alles gut laufen. Ist ideal, weil ich bald in die Klinik muss und kann somit fein die wichtigen Sachen verbergen. Möge die Vollnarkose nicht meine Erinnerung für meine pers. Tastenkombinationen auslöschen. Das Programm kann ich unbedingt empfehlen!!!!

Geweldig programma, Als jarenlang gebruiker van "Hide Folders" eindelijk een programma met meer mogelijkheden. Ik ken als geen ander het belang van files te beveiligen op de Mac en er geen simpeler mogelijkheid dan Ubermask. (Written in Dutch)

At first it did what it said on the tin. Then the app started to "forget" which files it had hidden. Luckily I was able to find another app to un-invisible *all* of the invisible files on my computer, then I used Terminal to manually remove the invisible-creating dot at the beginning of the file name. When it works flawlessly, it will be useful. For now, I'd rather not risk losing track of my files and directories again.

Ich bin durch einen Freund auf dieses Tool aufmerksam geworden, da er gerne Videos bei YouTube einstellt. Da ich dieses ebenfalls mache, habe ich mir das Programm mal genauer angesehen und muss sagen, es ist die derzeit rund 10€ auf alle Fälle wert. Für mich liegt wie oben beschrieben, der praktische Nutzen in der Möglichkeit, meine privaten Dateien schnell ausblenden zu können und dann bei einem Screencast nicht darauf achten zu müssen. Die Bedienung ist auch schnell gelernt, auch wenn es erst nicht so ganz wollte, wie ich, nach einem zweiten Start des Tools hat es allerdings alles gemacht. Für mich ist die Tastenkombination nicht so wichtig, aber macht das alles natürlich schon recht bequem. Fazit Das Programm macht was es soll, was man von vielen anderen Tools nicht behaupten kann, damit bekommt es von mir eine 1 drauf mit Mappe :) Jens blog4it.de

Ich bin heute auf ÜberMask von NovaMedia aufmerksam geworden - ein Tool, um vorher ausgewählte Daten per Boss-Key vor ungewollten Blicken (hört sich verboten an - ist es aber nicht wirklich ) zu schützen... Genauer: Ich suchte ein einfaches Tool, mit dem ich Statistiken, Tabellen und Auswertungen gezielt vor fremdem Zugriff zu schützen kann und sie genauso einfach wieder aufrufen kann. Gesucht - gefunden... Nachdem das Tool installiert ist, bekommt man eine kurze Anweisung, wie der Shortcuts definiert sind, und schwupps - schon kann man in einem Dateibrowser die Dateien und Ordner definieren, die "versteckbar" sein sollen. Kurz per Drag-n-Drop die Ordner in den Browser geschoben und schon ist der Ordner verschwunden. Das Tool kann nun geschlossen werden. Ein gekonnter Handgriff, der mit zwei Händen ausgeführt werden muss, und schon sind die Daten in Form eines Images wieder auf dem Desktop, sodass sie weiterverarbeitet werden können. Ein weiterer Tastendruck - und weg sind sie... Einfach und effektiv - so wie es eigentlich sein sollte. Tooles Tool, einziger Wehmutstropfen - 19,95 EUR... Aber für die Daten, die nicht wirklich Jedem zugänglich gemacht werden sollen, werden sie mir wohl Wert sein.
