As many of you have noticed, FileShredder is no longer available on the Mac App Store. When we tried to update the app last year to fix a minor compatibility issue with macOS Catalina, Apple rejected the update and then took down the entire app. After months of back-and-forth with the App Store Review Team, we were told the final decision that “Applications that securely delete files are no longer viable for the Mac App Store.” While Apple likely has their reasons for this policy, we believe there is still value to FileShredder for ease of removal of unwanted files securely from Macs and external drives.<\/p>\n
We hope to re-release FileShredder outside of the Mac App Store in the future. We will be looking into setting up our own storefront for selling the app, and updating it to work accordingly. Stay tuned for more information. If you would like to be notified of updates, please contact us at support@voidtech.net.<\/p>\n
Note that if you have previously purchased FileShredder, you may continue to download the old version on the Mac App Store from your purchase history. If you install the app on additional Macs, please choose to pay for additional licenses using the Support FileShredder menu in the app. Thanks.<\/p>\n

\nby ertyuiuytred (United States) – Version 2.1 – 11 July 2019
\nActually surprised at how well File Shredder worked.
\nI am NOT a computer nerd, but was able to download it and get it installed on my 2014 MacBook Pro\u2019s \u201cdock\u201d.
\nUsing its Drag-and-Drop feature, I was able to simply \u201cfeed\u201d it folders of unwanted stuff, knowing that the entire folder was GONE.
\nSince Apple did away with \u201cSecure Empty Trash\u201d this is a great, and inexpensive, replacement.<\/p>\n

\n1) Why is there NO Privacy Policy in this Apple Store listing OR VoidTech’s website?<\/p>\n

\nGreat app to replace the missing secure empty trash in Mac OS. Reasonable price for the added security. I would recommend to other Mac users.<\/p>\n

\nGood product. It does its job well<\/p>\n
\nby McLearner (United States) – Version 2.1 – 31 January 2019
\n…have had only consistent, reliable results with FileShredder. I couldn’t be more pleased. I highly recommend it, most particularly since Mac’s operating system doesn’t feature a comparable.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019ve had a good hacker try to recover something, and it COULD NOT be recovered. Not to say this person is the final aqnsewer, but the attempt at my request was enough for my peace of mind.<\/p>\n

\nI havent tested how effective it actually is but it is easy to use and I havent had any problems with it.<\/p>\n
\nby TheLiving (United States) – Version 2.1 – 4 December 2018
\nLooked at a lot of secure shredding apps and read a lot of reviews before I picked this one. The things I love are the price and the fact that it has a progress icon so you can see where you are in the shredding process. I also like that I can choose different levels of security depending on what I\u2019m getting rid of. Like others, I keep it on my dock next to the trash bin for easy access.<\/p>\n
\nby Jflyy (United States) – Version 2.1 – 6 November 2018
\nNo complaints! This app shows which docs are in queue for deletion and notifies you when it is completed. This is the first that I have tried & I have no need for any other!<\/p>\n
