What it does

I built FolderLock because I wanted a simple, free way to protect my personal files without trusting any third-party service. No uploads. No accounts. No subscription. Just open the browser, drop your files, set a password — done. I built everything from scratch — the encryption engine, the UI, the vault system — and I'm constantly improving it based on real feedback. This is just the beginnig

Free browser-based file encryption tool. Lock your files with a password using AES-256 encryption. No uploads, no accounts, 100% private.

Password-protect any files with military-grade AES-256 encryption — right in your browser. No uploads. No servers. Nothing leaves your device. No compromises. Every feature was designed with your security in mind. The same encryption standard used by banks and governments. Your files are unreadable without the correct password. Everything happens on your device. Your files never leave your computer — not even for a millisecond. Files are compressed before encryption, saving up to 80% on text, docs and code files. Lock an entire folder's worth of files into a single .locked file with one click. 200,000 PBKDF2 rounds make each password guess extremely slow. Hackers can't brute-force their way…from folderlock.vercel.app

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
