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 […]
Recently Michael Zenke was kind enough to inform us about a potential conflict between Espionage and PGP’s Whole Disk Encryption. 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 […]
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 […]
A user recently brought to my attention that Espionage would notify them that the trial was expiring in 3 days every minute. If you ran into this problem please accept my apologies, it’s certainly not there by design. The download for 1.1.2 has been “silently” updated with a fix for this. If you’re affected by […]
Espionage 1.1.2 is here! It’s first and foremost a huge stability update, but it also boasts 3 new features: NEW: support for encrypting folders over a network mount NEW: ability to run Espionage on multiple user accounts NEW: you can now rename a folder using “Locate Missing Folder…” FIXED: updated ispyd to remove unnecessary logging […]
UPDATE: It turns out that Espionage *is* compatible with Logitech, but only the latest version (2.7 as of this writing). Espionage version 2.1 and later will check for this and will not complain if it detects that you have LCC 2.7 or later installed. We’ve received two reports so far of Espionage starting up but […]
Well, it’s been a week and a day since Espionage was announced to the world. Since then Espionage has been featured all over the web, on sites like lifehacker, Macworld, MacUser, MacNN, The Apple Blog, and others. I feel honored that so many people are as excited about Espionage as I am. I have spent […]
