Send an encrypted ZIP archive to SendStuffNow
SendStuffNow is a macOS utility application designed to facilitate quick and secure file sharing by creating encrypted ZIP archives that can be sent to recipients. The app integrates directly with the macOS file system through a Finder droplet interface, allowing users to drag-and-drop files for encryption and packaging. It's intended for users who need to share sensitive documents or files with others while maintaining security through encryption. The application appears to be part of the StuffIt/compression utilities ecosystem, a category that has largely been superseded by native macOS archiving tools and cloud-based file sharing services.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionSendStuffNow appears to be an older utility from the StuffIt era, and there is no evidence of active development or a native Apple Silicon version. The bundle ID and version number (16.0.0) suggest this is a legacy application. Rather than wait for an update that may never come, we recommend using native alternatives built into macOS or modern third-party solutions: (1) macOS's native Archive Utility can create standard ZIP files natively on Apple Silicon; (2) For encrypted archives, consider Keka (free, actively maintained, universal binary available) which provides AES-256 encryption with a modern interface; (3) For secure file sharing, consider cloud services like Tresorit, Sync.com, or Proton Drive, which offer end-to-end encryption and are optimized for Apple Silicon. These alternatives eliminate the need for Rosetta 2 emulation entirely and provide better security and sharing functionality than legacy compression tools.
