What is Cloak for Mac?

Cloak is a privacy app for macOS. Pick an app and it will not open without Touch ID or your password. When you quit the app, it locks itself again.

Websites lock the same way, so a site like Gmail, your bank or ChatGPT stays covered until you unlock it, in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Tor.

Hide an app and it disappears from the Dock, Launchpad, Spotlight and the Applications folder. Lock a folder or a single file where it sits, or hide it completely until you bring it back. Folders and files are encrypted with AES-256.

A locked app can show the Mac's own quit unexpectedly box instead of a lock screen, so nobody even knows there is something to ask you about. If someone gets the password or Touch ID wrong, Cloak can take their photo with the built-in camera. You can also turn off the Mac password fallback, so someone who knows your Mac login still cannot get in.

Cloak can lock apps at set times, lock whatever app is in front with a keyboard shortcut, and lock or hide anything from the right-click menu in Finder. Seven looks to choose from.

Everything runs on your Mac. No account, no cloud, no tracking. One-time purchase with free updates, for one, two or five Macs. Requires macOS 13 or later on an Apple silicon Mac.
