Questions
How do I get Binveil?
Binveil is available to approved partners, by invitation. Write to hello@soluptions.com to request one. With an invitation, open the download area, confirm your email with a one-time PIN and enter your code.
Does it send my files anywhere?
No. Binveil works offline and never connects to a server. Your files, their code and how you use the app stay on your Mac.
Can I undo a change?
Not from Binveil. Making programming unviewable saves a .bak copy next to each file: restore it to go back. Transferring makes no backup, so copy your files first.
Is unviewable programming secure?
It stops the programming being opened in Excel’s editor, but it is not encryption or a security guarantee. Never keep passwords or secrets in your code.
Which files does it work with?
Excel workbooks with macros (VBA programming), in .xlsm or .xlsb format.
Does it need Excel?
Restarting Excel controls Microsoft Excel for Mac, with your permission. Transferring and making programming unviewable work on the workbook files themselves.
I changed Mac. What now?
Each license belongs to one Mac. If you have activated all the Macs your invitation allows, write to us.
Which Macs are supported?
macOS 11 Big Sur or later, on Macs with Apple silicon and Intel: it is one universal app. Nothing else to install: everything Binveil needs is inside the app.
Can I use it on any workbook?
Only on workbooks you own or are authorized to modify. Binveil must never be used to hide malicious code or to lock other people’s work: that breaks the Terms of Use, and the license ends automatically.
Why was a workbook flagged by an antivirus or an email filter?
Some security tools treat workbooks with unviewable code as suspicious, because malware uses the same technique. Tell the people who receive your files, keep an editable master and, if a filter blocks a file, send it through a channel your client trusts.
Will it keep working with new versions of Excel?
Binveil works on the files themselves. A future Excel version could change how workbooks are stored, so test your processed workbooks after each major Excel update and tell us if anything changes.
What do you know about me?
The app sends nothing. The download area keeps your email, your downloads and the Macs you activated, only to manage your invitation and licenses. The privacy policy explains it in full.
