Shredo

Shredo is a macOS security and privacy utility designed to securely erase files beyond recovery. It acts as a file shredder, permanently deleting sensitive documents, temporary files, and other data by overwriting them with patterns that make recovery impossible. The app is typically used by privacy-conscious users, professionals handling confidential information, and anyone who wants to ensure deleted files cannot be forensically reconstructed. Shredo integrates with the Finder for convenient right-click deletion and can be scheduled to run automatic secure-erase operations on specified folders.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Shredo has not been tested on Apple Silicon and there is no public information indicating that a native build has been released. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs today, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point this Intel-only app will stop launching entirely. You should contact the developer to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned before that deadline. If they cannot commit to one, consider moving to an actively maintained alternative: Permanent Eraser, Secure Empty Trash, or macOS's native Secure Empty Trash feature (available in Finder) may cover your basic file-deletion needs. For a more feature-rich option that is confirmed to run natively on Apple Silicon, Trash It offers scheduled secure deletion and integrates with Finder — check the developer's site to confirm current compatibility before relying on it long-term.</recommendation> <parameter name="recommendation_url">
