Just released VaultSort — A macOS-native security & organization tool that actually understands your Mac

I’ve been frustrated by the lack of file security tools that genuinely understand how macOS works, so I wanted to share a recent discovery. VaultSort is a new app that handles file organization, secure deletion, and encryption — but what makes it different is that it actually adapts its behavior based on your specific Mac hardware.

What it does differently:

• Detects SSD vs HDD and adapts accordingly: Most secure deletion tools don’t account for how SSDs handle data differently from HDDs, which means standard “secure delete” might not actually be secure on your MacBook’s SSD.
• Integrates with FileVault: It checks your FileVault status and adjusts its security recommendations based on whether you’ve enabled disk encryption.
• DOD-standard secure deletion: It implements multi-pass overwriting for truly secure deletion when needed, adapting the approach based on your storage type.
• Smart file organization: Automatically sorts files by type, date, etc., with an undo feature if you change your mind.
• Duplicate file finder with security focus: When removing duplicates, it handles deletion securely rather than just moving to trash.

I especially appreciate that it has a clean UI that doesn’t feel like it was ported from Windows. It’s built specifically for macOS rather than being a cross-platform afterthought.

The app is currently available for $3.99 (apparently going up to $9.99 soon). I’ve been using it for a few weeks and it’s already helped me reclaim several GB of space from duplicate files I didn’t know I had.

Just thought I’d share since good Mac-native utilities seem increasingly rare these days.
