Simple! File Shredder
Simple! File Shredder is a secure file deletion utility for macOS that overwrites and permanently erases files before removing them from the filesystem, making them unrecoverable through standard recovery methods. It lets users securely delete sensitive documents, financial records, passwords and other confidential data rather than relying on the Trash, which leaves recoverable data on disk. The app is intended for privacy-conscious users, IT professionals and anyone handling sensitive information who want assurance that deleted files cannot be retrieved by data-recovery tools.

1 suggestionWe could not locate recent information about Simple! File Shredder's development status or whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. The app is niche and appears to have limited web presence. If you rely on this app, contact the developer directly at the vendor's support email or website to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or already available. This is important because the app is currently running under Rosetta 2 translation, and that translation layer will be removed when Apple releases macOS 28 in September 2028 — at that point an Intel-only build will simply stop launching. If the vendor cannot or will not provide a native version, consider moving to a more actively maintained alternative such as Permanent Eraser or AppDelete, both of which offer verified native Apple Silicon support and receive regular updates. Many modern Mac users also rely on built-in macOS features like Finder's "Empty Bin Securely" option (on some drives) or third-party disk utilities like DiskUtility Pro, which may cover your secure deletion needs.
