Everything you need, in one suite.

Six powerful workspaces — from one-click password recovery to military-grade file encryption. All bundled together, completely free.

Easy Recovery

Drag-and-drop any locked file for instant one-click password recovery. Automatic format detection — no configuration needed.

🧪

Advanced Recovery Studio

Eight recovery methods — Wordlist, Mask, Incremental, Markov, PRINCE, and more — with real-time progress charts, session save & resume, and GPU acceleration.

🔍

Hash Extractor

Native extraction of encryption signatures from ZIP, RAR, PDF, Office, KeePass, VeraCrypt, BitLocker, SSH, GPG, and Bitcoin wallets. Pure Dart — zero external dependencies.

📚

Wordlist Manager

Manage local password dictionary libraries with 500K+ bundled entries. Import custom wordlists and organise them for targeted recovery jobs.

File Lock & Unlock

Password-protect files in their native format (ZIP, PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or strip known passwords in seconds — drag-and-drop, no conversion needed.

📦

Secure Vault

AES-256-CBC encrypted storage with PBKDF2-SHA256 (100K iterations). Batch encrypt/decrypt, multi-pass file shredding, and stealth mode. All local — no cloud.
