When you normally delete your files in Mac OS X, the operating system is only forgetting where those particular files are placed, while the data still physically remains on the drive. Beginning with Mac OS 10.3, Apple enhanced its security by introducing the Secure Empty Trash feature, which follows the U.S. DoD pattern of overwriting data seven times.

Permanent Eraser provides an even stronger level of security by implementing the Gutmann Method. This utility overwrites your data thirty-five times, scrambles the original file name, and truncates the file size to nothing before Permanent Eraser finally unlinks it from the system. Once your data has been erased, it can no longer be read through traditional means.

Permanent Eraser is free of charge, and the source code is also provided for educational purposes.

- Implements the Gutmann Method via srm to remove files
- Erases the files in your Trash
- Erases CD-RWs and DVD-RWs
- Erases files dropped on the application icon
- Provides a warning dialog before files are erased (Press the Option key to bypass this warning).
- Universal Binary
- Localized for English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese
- Source code is available
- It’s free!]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/filesheriff.html File attribute editor, icon generator, MP3 renamer, batch editor, and more. About File Sheriff
Managing files with the Finder in Mac OS X can only take you so far. File Sheriff allows you to easily generate icon previews, rename your MP3 files based on their ID3 tags, batch-apply file attributes, edit hidden file options, and more.

Long past are the days of having to fiddle with type and creators in Mac OS 9 to get files to launch in the correct application. Today, we’re dealing with a mixture of file extensions and the Finder has that handled pretty well! However, it’s still lacking the ability to give you full control over some of the advanced features files offer. With File Sheriff, set the bundle bit, custom icon setting, visibility, and more of any file or folder. Many more features.]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/xslimmer.html The friendly way to right-size your universal binary apps without losing functionality. About Xslimmer
Determines which code your machine needs and removes the rest. This is achieved by removing the code inside the universal binaries that does not fit with your machine’s architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space. In addition, Xslimmer eliminates unwanted application localizations. Normally you only use one or two of the languages in any app. Keep those and let Xslimmer eliminate the rest, recovering your precious disk space.

Here are some example savings seen by our users:
- Audio Hijack Pro 2.6.7, from 12.7Mb to 9.6Mb (3.1Mb, 24%)
- BBEdit 8.5, from 33.6Mb to 23.5Mb (10.1Mb, 30%)
- Google Earth 4, from 101Mb to 52.8Mb (48.2Mb, 47%)
- Photoshop CS3 Beta, from 246Mb to 144Mb (102Mb, 41%)

About Quay
Extends the Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Dock to show extended popup menus for most Dock items, including applications, stacks and URLs. Quay also allows you to make folder proxy icons with easily customized icons.

So why should you use Quay at all? Extra information, more flexibility. For one, the Dock’s popups are limited to about 500 items; Quay’s limit is in the tens of thousands. You can have a Quay popup on both sides of the Dock; Apple has them only on the document side. The Dock doesn’t follow aliases/symbolic links in its menus; Quay does. It works for Smart Folders, also shows application versions and (for running applications) CPU and memory statistics. Still, if for some reason you want the Dock’s normal display, just hold the Option key down before clicking.

Quay is a simple-to-use Cocoa application. You can run it just to configure a popup item in the Dock, but it works automatically with your existing stacks; the actual popup is handled by a background process that uses few system resources. The Dock icons can be customized for better recognition (and put on both sides of the Dock).

Quay does no magic. It doesn’t hack the Dock in any way, and calls no private system interfaces.

There is no trial period, but only the first Quay item on each side of the Dock will work until you register. Application popups are a free bonus.]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/freezer.html Freeze processor intensive apps. About Freezer

About FunctionFlip
FunctionFlip individually controls your MacBook or MacBook Pro's function keys, turning special keys back to regular F-keys, or vice-versa. FunctionFlip's purpose is simply to disable the special features — rewind, play, mute, etc. — on the function keys. For example, if you "flip" F7, F8, and F9, those keys will revert back to normal F keys — without affecting the other functions. Press the fn key with the special key to get the special function back. That is, the "special" and "normal" functions are flipped.]]> Fri, 14 Nov 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/filesynchronization.html A utility that has the ability to synchronize multiple pairs of folders or files.
