alternativa a permanent eraser

It must be an intel app https://alternativeto.net/software/permanent-eraser/?platform=mac You may find soemthing here Translation : I've always used Permanent Eraser on my Mac, but recently I've been getting a popup saying it won't be usable or launchable with future Mac OS updates. I was wondering if there's a viable alternative for securely deleting files that can be accessed via the context menu (i.e., right-click). Thanks.

would you pay for such app? a small amount for lifetime access/ I have been thinking about building one

Never heard of this app until now but whats wrong with cmd+backspace on a file to move it to the trahs?

You mean something like this? I bought it a couple of years ago through Bundlehunt, but I actually never used it so far. So I can't tell you if it's worth buying at full price.

I would be careful with any app that promises true per-file secure erase on modern Macs. With SSD wear leveling, APFS snapshots, backups, and temporary copies, overwriting one file in place is not as reliable as it used to be on old spinning disks. If the goal is privacy, the strongest practical setup is FileVault enabled before sensitive data is stored, plus a full erase/reinstall when handing off the machine. For a right-click convenience workflow, a Finder Quick Action can delete selected files, but I would treat that as convenience rather than a real forensic guarantee.

You can actually replace it with a Quick Action in Automator — no third-party app needed. Set it to receive files or folders in Finder, add a Run Shell Script action with "as arguments", and pass rm -rfP. Save it, and it'll show up in your right-click menu under Quick Actions. The -P flag does the same three-pass overwrite Permanent Eraser was doing. If you'd rather not mess with Automator, TrashMe 3 has secure delete with right-click integration and is still actively maintained. One thing worth mentioning: on Apple Silicon with FileVault on, multi-pass secure overwrite isn't really doing what you think anymore. The SSD controller decides where bits physically land, not the OS. With FileVault, just deleting and emptying Trash is already cryptographically safe. But I get that the right-click workflow is satisfying — the Quick Action gives you that without relying on a deprecated app.
