Remove important information from your Mac in a secure way to prevent third parties from viewing and using it. Force applications to quit to shut down an erring app, delete recent items, and unmount volumes storing sensitive information, and empty the trash bin.
Black Hole is a powerful application that allows you to clear sensitive information from your Mac with a single click. Black Hole automates many operations such as quitting applications, removing recent items from application menus, emptying the Trash, and more. More time for you!
