🔐 What it is — turn any program into a password-only app

Point it at any Windows program → set a password → get back a locked copy that won’t open without it. The file gets scrambled with the same encryption banks and governments use, so copying it elsewhere changes nothing. Wrong password, dead end.

Term Plain meaning
Password-locked EXE Program won’t run without your password.
AES-256-GCM The lock — military-grade scrambling, uncrackable by guessing.
PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 Turns your password into a key slowly on purpose — brute-forcing takes lifetimes.
Sidecar architecture Original file untouched; a small guard file rides alongside and does the checking.
Stub launcher Tiny gatekeeper that pops the password box before the real app starts.
Icon kept Locked copy still looks like the real app.
🕵️ Why it never phones home — the trust check
Claim Detail

:light_bulb: Verify the download hash on the release page if you’re careful — the SHA256 is listed next to the zip.

⚙️ Three clicks from open to locked — setup

1 — Open it → Browse → pick the .exe.
2 — Type + confirm password → Create protected copy.
3 — Run the new copy → it asks for the password.

Undo anytime with Remove password. Runs on Windows 10 & 11 (64-bit). Interface in English + Russian (live switch, bottom dropdown).

If it won’t launch: right-click → “Run as administrator.” Known quirk on the dev’s list, not you screwing up.

🎯 Where this quietly saves your ass — real uses
  • Shared / family PC — lock your tools, wallets, or launchers so nobody else opens them, even on your own login.
  • USB you might lose — carry a portable app on a stick; if it walks off, it’s a brick without the password.
  • Handing over your laptop — lend it for “just checking email” without lending the app that logs into your accounts.
  • Cracked or sketchy build you don’t trust to autorun — gate it behind a password so it can’t fire without you watching.
  • Client / shared work machine — drop a tool on a coworker’s box that only you can actually run.
💾 Grab it — no key, no subscription

Free forever. No PRO, no license activation. Community-built.
