Notice: Silent Fix for 2.0

If you downloaded Espionage 2.0 before midnight on the 24th of February, then you may run into a bug if you attempt to encrypt a folder on an external drive. I’m not sure how this one slipped past us, but the bug was silently fixed as soon as it was discovered, and immediately uploaded to […]

What applications would you encrypt data for?

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 […]

Should unencrypted folder support be removed?

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 […]

Temporary fix for login messages

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 […]

Possible Conflict with PGP Whole Disk Encryption

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 […]

DelayedLauncher – Coming to an Espionage Near You!

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 […]

Fix annoying trial ending notifications

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 […]
