After months of development, Espionage 2.0 is finally here, and it’s brimming with new features: NEW: Support for separate keychain = support for separate master password! NEW: Application Associations – Tightly integrates applications with their encrypted folders (no need to auto-unlock) NEW: DelayedLauncher built-in. Check “Launch at login” in Application Associations NEW: Stupid-Proof safety checks […]
Thank you for your responses to our previous question: Should unencrypted folder support be removed? Based on your responses we’re leaving it in, but some UI changes will make choosing no encryption much more deliberate. We’re cooking up an incredible update for you guys. It’s going to be here really soon. If you can’t tell […]
The next update to Espionage, Espionage 1.1.3, is turning into 1.2. It will be Espionage’s first major update, boasting many significant new features including: built-in DelayedLauncher, custom master-password support through a separate keychain, various UI changes, and more. Another huge feature (that’s currently hush-hush, involving some more of iSpy’s magical abilities), may make an appearance […]
Some users may experience a bug in Espionage 1.1.2 associated with the “auto-unlock at login” option where Espionage will display many “Critical Alert!” messages upon login, which, though harmless, can be annoying. This bug has been fixed in the next update to Espionage (along with a slew of others), but that update may not be […]
Quite often in the past I’ve experienced a strange problem with my Macbook Pro where it would wake itself up shortly after I put it to sleep. I discovered that it only did this when the Airport card in my laptop was turned on. After learning that I wasn’t the only one experiencing this problem, […]

Michael was kind enough to give us permission to quote his email in this blog post to alert other users of the situation: Hi, for the last few weeks, I’ve been evaluating PGP Whole Disk […]
Terminal fiends will likely find this post useful. A while ago, I was sitting in the library at the University of Florida under the pretense of preparing for a final exam that was scheduled for the following day. I had, however, made the idiotic mistake of bringing my laptop with me. Instead of studying I […]
Update: DelayedLauncher 2.0 has been released. Yesterday we received the following support email from Brian Kane: When I put Mail (which is “espionaged”) in the login items, the folder doesn’t get unlocked in time and Mail acts like it is starting up for the first time. If I cancel the start up dialog and then […]
Over on twitter, Jeffry R asked why Tao Effect wasn’t offering a CyberMonday discount on Espionage. Good question Jeffry! 🙂 The reason is that we prefer Monuesday instead. This period starts when Greg wakes up and gets out of his cave after recovering from a 7+ hour drive to see his family for Thanksgiving, and […]
“I didn’t know you were down in the first place,” I hear you say. Indeed! Those of you who sent emails to our support address today were probably pleasantly surprised to find a blazingly fast reply from us in your inbox today, but to your dismay it was not, after all, a reply to your […]
