Changelog
Every update to VaultSort, documented.
V3 encryption reliability fixes, key management improvements, and analytics opt-out default.
Advanced Organize gains per-job recursive folder scanning, rolling-date conditions, smarter AI job drafting, and a round of visual polish across the Rule Builder.
VaultSort 3 introduces Smart Categorize — a private, on-device AI engine that reads your files and proposes categories derived from your real library. No cloud. No API key. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Hardened secure delete for folders — fixes catalog name leakage, subfolder skipping, symlink traversal, and silent partial failures.
Fixes folder encryption/decryption failures on Macs with limited internal disk by correcting encrypted temp container sizing arithmetic.
Critical decrypt fix: prevents silent data loss when the encrypted temp container is too small to hold the extracted contents. Encrypted data from prior versions is safe and will now decrypt correctly.
Folder encryption now sizes its encrypted temp container to fit the actual directory contents, eliminating spurious ENOSPC failures.
Folder encrypt reliability fixes, Secure cancel spinner fix, and a Favorites pane width fix.
Fixes for Set as Secure, cache cleanup accuracy, and Advanced Organize screenshot templates.
Content search now works in Advanced Organization dry-runs, plus automation warning and UI polish fixes.
