Hide a file or folder
chflags ships with the system: “hidden” takes a file or folder out of Finder’s view without moving or changing it, and “nohidden” brings it back.
How
Hide it:
chflags hidden ~/Desktop/private-notes.txtShow it again:
chflags nohidden ~/Desktop/private-notes.txtHidden is not locked or encrypted — anyone who shows hidden files (⌘⇧. in Finder) will see it. To actually protect it, use an encrypted disk image.
Or just ask Titan
