Password-protected folders for Mac. Unlock in Finder.
What it does
FileVault does nothing at the desktop. Doghouse puts a password on a folder: unlock it, work in Finder, lock it. AES-256. Touch ID if you want. No account. One vault free forever. €19 / $19 once for unlimited vaults on up to 3 Macs.
Create an encrypted vault on your Mac. Unlock it with a password or Touch ID, use it like a normal folder, lock it again. AES-256. No account. One-time purchase.
Warning Doghouse is a Mac app. It will not run on Windows or Linux. FileVault protects a stolen Mac. It does nothing once you’re at the desktop. Doghouse puts a password on a folder: unlock it, work in Finder, lock it. AES-256. Touch ID if you want. No account. Anyone at your unlocked Mac can open anything. So can a lot of apps, and so can iCloud if the folder lives in the wrong place. A partner, a child, a client, a repair shop. FileVault already let you in. Everything after that is just a folder. Drop a private folder in Desktop or Documents and iCloud will take it. Backups and “helpful” apps will too. Sparse bundle, APFS, AES-256, a size that isn’t explained, then find the file, mount…from doghousevault.com

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
