What Members are saying about prMac:
"prMac is something special. From the other testimonials, we were already expecting great writing and distribution service. What came unexpected were all the helpful tips and free advice we got from Ray just through the course of working on our press release. It was like working with a good teacher who, despite time constraints, goes out of his way to help you. Our only regret is not learning about this service sooner."

Scrambler 1.1.2 - A Simple Encryption App for Mac OS X
May 24, 2012 in Utility
[prMac.com] Stockholm, Sweden - Coding Turtle today is pleased to announce Scrambler 1.1.2, an update to their simple encryption app for Mac OS X. Scrambler makes it convenient to secure files before sending them along unsafe places, such as to other Macs via untrusted email, instant messaging or cloud-based services. Scrambler resides in the menu bar - providing a small icon in the top-right area of the screen.
To encrypt a file with Scrambler, users drag the file on Scrambler's menu bar icon and type in a password via a small and non-intrusive pop-up window. The result is, of course, an encrypted file.
To decrypt the encrypted file, users drag it back on Scrambler's menu bar icon and type in the same password. The result is, of course, the original file.
Users can also drag folders, or a collection of files and folders, on Scrambler - they will be encrypted into a single encrypted file.
