User Testimonials

  • "Congratulations on crafting what looks like the best encryption app on the Mac"

    Miles W. via email

  • "This app allows me to do something I could never figure out before - password protect my email in Mail App. I definitely recommend this app for the paranoid among you or those who are interested in securing their important files. The tag says that this app replaces FileVault but I disagree. This blows FileVault away!"

  • "This is head and shoulders above other security apps out there. The kind of app it makes you glad you've got a Mac. I had a couple of issues, dropped the guys an email and they got straight back to be and resolved them. For such a new app, this really shows big promise, and a bargain too."

  • "As a healthcare provider, maximum integrity and security of patient data is of paramount importance. Espionage leverages Apple's built-in OS technologies and exploits them into an exceptionally elegant, simple package that is extremely easy to use. This is hugely important in a busy practice—and the support is just amazing!"

  • "Thanks for this great software. I just bought it and will recommend it to my friends. Your program addresses a big privacy hole in email that has existed at least since I started using Eudora in the early 90s. It never made sense that they required a password to send mail but not to view your inbox. Apple Mail continues this weakness but Espionage has provided an elegant work-around. Same problem for iPhoto. Espionage really has tons of potential."
