The download link does not work, the website does not work, hmm...

My trial period is now pretty much over, and I have had no reply to my forum posting, nor to the email I sent to their support address.
This feels like abandonware to me, so I don't buy.

Any file that's encrypted can be forced open, by coercion to the owner or by brute force to the file. But what if all that is sitting there is a bunch of photos of your family? That actually opens to the picture when launched? Only you know what's hidden and encrypted on top of that. I don't see Disk Utility doing that.
Not that I have anything that's worth encrypting like that, but it's really nice to know it's there if I ever did. A must if you have something you would just rather keep to yourself, even if someone stole your computer, it would still be yours.

With 1.1 we added a new suite of algorithms and we are now stronger than disk utility. :-)

You can use the OSX disk utility to create a 256bit encrypted disk image for free. In combination with automater it's also possible to create a program witch does the same job (also with drag & drop) for free.
It's up to you to pay 20$ or do it for free with OSX disk utility.

You cannot open .dmg's in Windows, and you definitely cannot save the .dmg you create as a .png to hide its true contents, can you?
You might want to try the app out more, to see what it can really do.

I found a slight bug with the initial release version and sent off an e-mail to the developer. Within a matter of minutes I had a reply that told me he would look into it as quickly as possible.
Less than 48 hours, there was a fix available and a personal e-mail from the developer telling me that the fix was available.
After this, I registered my copy of BitClamp right away.
How often can you find a first rate program with first rate support? In my 25 years of PC/Mac experience; not very often.

BitClamp is very different from the encryption appications I've seen so far (Data Guardian, Exces).
Exces, for instance, creates a .dmg-like virtual disk that is encrypted with a password, but can only be opened using Exces.
Data Guardian creates a database of encrypted files that hold information. But this is limiting, because it does not encrypt whole folders and other files.
BitClamp, however, can encrypt multiple files, no matter what they are, and compresses them together into a file that does not rely on BitClamp to be opened.
And besides, the UI is clean and minimalistic and is incredibly easy to use.
