Houdini

Houdini is a lightweight Windows application built specifically for helping you hide your sensitive information from prying eyes.

The program is able to conceal the important data so no other users can see it or have access to it.

Houdini sports a clean and intuitive layout that allows you to configure the dedicated parameters with minimum effort.

It gives you the possibility to add files into the working environment using the built-in browse functions, so you cannot rely on “drag and drop” operations.

Basically, it proves to be extremely easy to work with this tool, as you only need to upload the files in the main panel, and Houdini automatically hides the current file or directory. It is important to mention that the files remain concealed even if you activate the Windows function, "View Hidden Files."

What’s more, you can hide or reveal the files, remove the selected items from the list, run the program at Windows startup, enable the stealth mode when the utility starts or minimizes to the system tray, encrypt your files and folders by setting up a master password, as well as use hotkeys for a better control over the entire process (they cannot be reassigned).

During our testing we have noticed that Houdini carries out a task quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

All things considered, Houdini seems to be the right choice in case you are looking for a simple-to-use application that enables you to hide your sensitive files and directories on the breeze. Thanks to its intuitive layout, it is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
