Description

Zipperhide is a local encrypted vault for Windows. Drag a file in and it disappears from its folder: encrypted with AES-256-GCM (filenames included) and unlocked only by your key, which is never stored. No cloud, no account, no internet. Open files with one click without restoring them, organize them in folders, browse encrypted thumbnails, and lock instantly to wipe keys from memory. The original is only removed after the encrypted copy is verified. ~2.5 MB installer.
