v3.0.3 Instant folder locking, smarter Touch ID & a cleaner look
FinderLock 3.0.3 is out! 🚀 This release is all about making locking feel faster and smoother, based on your feedback. What's new: ⚡ Instant locking for large folders Lock a big folder and it's protected right away — encryption now finishes in the background instead of making you wait. 🔐 Smarter Touch ID Files protected with Touch ID always unlock with Touch ID, even if you've disabled it in Preferences. No more lockout surprises. 🎨 Cleaner, more native look New native lock icon on protected files, and the encrypting indicator now correctly shows "Encrypting…" or "Decrypting…" depending on what's happening. 🛠️ More control Added Preferences toggles to hide "Secure Shred" and "Open FinderLock" from the Finder right-click menu — keep your context menu as clean as you like. 🛡️ Safer than ever Improved crash recovery means files in transit during an unexpected quit are safely restored on next launch. Also fixed a rare issue where the same file could be added twice with different protection methods. Plus a bunch of smaller polish and reliability fixes throughout. As always: 100% local, no cloud, no subscription. One-time purchase. Thanks to everyone sending feedback keep it coming! 🙏
