secure vault .exe

File encryption secured by a USB key, not a password

secure vault .exe launched on August 2, 2026 with 3 votes, #2,940 of 23,274 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

What it does

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 for your files. Contribute to keerthivasan-sankar/secure-vault-for-commercial development by creating an account on GitHub.

    Hi HN, I’m Daniel. I built Trust Vault. It’s a desktop open source app for protecting sensitive files using passwords, 256-bit master tokens, Shamir’s Secret Sharing, and HMAC integrity verification. We also built an Obsidian plugin. I’d appreciate feedback on the security model, UX, and potential use cases.

  • Ward – a file vault written in bash2024 · github.com · ▲20

    just wanted to share ward, a tool i hacked together to encrypt and manage sensitive files in a vault folder. it's written in bash and meant to be cloned and then stored using git or version control. you don't have to store it that way, it's just why i created it. what ward does: encrypts the files in ./vault/ into a single .gpg file, checks to see if your files have been tampered with, generates totp codes if you need them to recover critical accounts. how to use it: clone the repo, toss your files into the vault directory, and run yarn encrypt. now commit your new [private]…

    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…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
