Have you ever used the private browsing feature found in Safari and most other browsers these days? If not, allow us to explain. The feature essentially allows you to use the core features of the browser without recording any of your actions. So, in the case of your browser, you can browse and do pretty much everything else you would normally do, however the browser won’t record any of your data, i.e. your browsing history, or any new cache. This is a feature that app Tiptoe 1.0 will give you access to for many of the most popular Mac applications. Currently the apps costs $20 and features 15 Mac compatible Mac OS X apps, although there are plans to include more apps in future updates. Below is a list of the supported applications and an example of the features Tiptoe will allow you to access for them:
Camino
Tiptoe’s Open with Privacy brings “Private Browsing” to Camino. Tiptoe also gives you more choice about what you remove when you want to reset.
Cyberduck
Tiptoe gives you extra control over the Cyberduck Transfers list, history, session and cache.
Firefox
Tiptoe provides extra choices when reseting.
iChat
Control over recent items (both Chats and Saved Chats), file transfer window and cache.
Keynote
Tiptoe gives you control over Keynote’s recent items and cache.
Numbers

Possibly one of the most used applications on OS X. Tiptoe gives you control over recent items and cache (and tailored to observe the differences under the surface between Leopard and Snow Leopard).

Safari
Miss being able to remove search items from the Google resent search menu? Tiptoe adds this feature back to Safari (along with the other features you are used to).
