I know that the Mac don't have a registry like windows, but is there way to save program information in a place on the Mac where only the program has access to it and not prying eyes?

Some might recommend using invisible files, but for myself I find it disturbing when I discover hidden files apps have written to my drive, and none of mine do that sort of thing.


And remember that with the Windows Registry things are also wide open -- just do Run->regedit and the world is yours.

Maybe better would be to hide data in custom props in a stack file that's also used as a critical part of the program. That way, unlike a standard Prefs file, if it's deleted the app won't run.

In order to have permissions to save the stack file you'll want to use the Preferences or Application Support folders.
