About:
invisibliX is a macOS utility that integrates into Finder to provide seamless control over hidden files and folders. It allows users to toggle the visibility of hidden items with a simple click or keyboard shortcut, and also enables setting the hidden flag on files directly from the Finder interface. This tool is essential for developers and power users who frequently need to manage system files or cluttered directories.
Key Features:
  • Finder toolbar integration for one-click visibility toggling
  • Context menu items to show/hide files
  • Keyboard shortcut support for rapid access
  • Visual indication of hidden files in Finder
Use Cases:
  • Developers managing dotfiles and configuration files in their home directory
  • Users cleaning up Finder by hiding system-protected or cluttering files
  • System administrators needing quick access to hidden system folders
Alternatives:
  • ShowHiddenFiles – Free alternative with similar functionality but less integration
  • defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles – Built-in command-line method, less convenient for frequent toggling
