Welcome to Kruptos 2 Professionals help for your Mac. Lets get started...



Select a parent folder in your library folder view

Click the New Folder button

Enter your folder name and click Add

Your new libray folder will be created


You can add files to your library via 3 methods.

Select the library folder you would like to add files to

Click the Files or Folders button

Alternatively, drag your files from Finder

Your files will now be added to your library

Your Kruptos 2 Professional library stores all your files in convenient folders so you can organise, secure and view your private files quickly and securely. To see how to fully setup and get the best out of your library click here

Select the files you would like to remove

Click the Remove button or press the delete key

Your files will now be removed from your library

Removing files from your Library does not delete the asscoiated file from your hard disk. If you would like to remove a file from your hard disk choose the Shred option.

Select the file you would like to view or edit

Click the Open file button

Your files will now be decrypted and opened

IMPORTANT: To preserve any changes made to your file (after editing), you must Quit the App that opened your file (typically ⌘Q). If you do not quit the editing App and close Kruptos 2, any changes made to the file will be lost.
How does this work? Kruptos 2 makes a copy of your encrypted file to a temporary file location, the copy is then decrypted (with your library password), then opened with the owning App. Kruptos 2 will then wait in the background… When you have finished editing and quit the App, Kruptos will wake up, encrypt the file (with your library password) make some validation checks, then finally copy the encrypted file back to the original location. All temporary files are shredded.

If you do not quit the App then Kruptos 2 is will not be informed that you have finished, therefore your changes will be lost.

Why Shred your files?
When you delete a file from your hard disk, it is not really deleted, it is merely removed from sight with only the reference to the file's data deleted.

The contents of the file remain on your hard disk until they are overwritten by other data. As a result, common "undelete" tools can be used to retrieve sensitive information from a deleted file. Shred eliminates this problem by destroying a file's contents before removing the reference to it


Select the files you would like to shred

Click the Shred button

Your selected files will now be Shredded

WARNING Shredding will permanently delete your files from your Mac. You will not be able to retrieve these files using undelete tools. Please make sure this is what you want to do before you continue using Shred
