Secure Vault encrypts your files with AES-256-GCM — but instead of
protecting the key with a password, it lives on a USB drive you
register as your master key. No password to lose, phish, or leak.
Plug the drive in to decrypt, unplug it and your files are locked.
Free, open-source, built for Windows. One-click installer, encrypted
local backups, and optional email alerts on vault activity.
Secure Vault protects sensitive files using AES-256-GCM encryption and USB key authentication. Encrypt files, create automatic backups, receive email notifications, and integrate directly into the Windows right-click menu.
I've been building a desktop application called Secure Vault over the past few months, and I'd love to get honest feedback before I officially launch it.
