Once you’ve got Houdini, you can use it to conceal files and folders. There’s actually a hidden file and folder function in the Mac but this program allows you to take full advantage of it. With this program you can quickly access, move, create, show or delete files and folders quickly.

In addition, Houdini has a toggle button so with just one click you can make files visible or hidden, while the “Browse Hidden Files” function allows you to look and search those files even while they are hidden, a really handy tool. Now if you are the type who doesn’t like to take their hands away from the keyboard, you can use its keyboard shortcuts and that’s really the more practical option if you are going through a lot of files.

Houdini has many other useful functions like allowing you to create new hidden files via drag and drop, so the process is quick. And because Houdini allows you to open hidden files directly, access to them is very convenient.

In addition you can use the program to check up on system files and once you’re done, hide them so you don’t accidentally alter them. Overall this is a very useful application that many Mac users will appreciate. It doesn’t just make your life more convenient but also gives you complete control over your files.
