How to install HideMyData on a Mac

  1. Get OpenDMG. It is a free app store for open source Mac apps. Download OpenDMG.
  2. Search for HideMyData and press Get. OpenDMG downloads version 0.2.0 from mkbula's own GitHub release.
  3. Open it. The download is checked against its SHA-256 fingerprint and its signature is checked on your Mac before it lands in Applications.

Updates to HideMyData show up in OpenDMG and install with one button. No account is needed.

Prefer to do it by hand? The developer's file is on GitHub: HideMyData-0.2.0.dmg (12 MB).

What is new in HideMyData 0.2.0

## HideMyData is now notarized!

* Integrate Sparkle for automatic updates. 
* `Check for Updates…` menu item in the app menu.
* Switched to xcodegen.
* Allow removing metadata from files when saving.

### ⚠️ Manual cleanup for users on v0.1.0

Because of the notarization and because I changed the app bundle ID, a one-timemanual reinstall is needed.

* If you use Raycast or AppCleaner - you're good, just uninstall there.

Manually:

* Drag the app to trash
* The old sandbox container at `~/Library/Containers/com.maciejonos.HideMyData/` is left behind. To reclaim the disk space:

```bash
rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.maciejonos.HideMyData
```

No further bundle ID changes are planned — future versions update in place via Sparkle.
