FileShredder
FileShredder is a file deletion utility for macOS designed to securely erase files, folders and free space on disk. It overwrites data multiple times before deletion to prevent recovery by forensic tools, making it useful for users concerned about privacy when disposing of sensitive documents, financial records, or personal files. The app sits in the Finder context menu or can process files through a dedicated interface, allowing batch operations and secure emptying of the Trash.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find public information confirming whether FileShredder has a native Apple Silicon build. Since the macOS 28 deadline is about 28 months away (September 2028), you have time to gather more information, but it is worth checking soon. Contact the developer at VoidTech directly through the app or their website to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version exists or is planned. If the developer is unresponsive or if FileShredder remains Intel-only as the September 2028 deadline approaches, consider switching to a more actively maintained alternative like Permanent Eraser, Secure Empty Trash, or the open-source BleachBit — all of which have confirmed native Apple Silicon support and are under active development. For now, the app continues to work under Rosetta 2, but do not wait until late 2028 to plan your next move.
