Secure Your Text Files with Mince

Some things need to be clear before you enjoy all the program has to offer. Mince is a practical security solution you keep around in case multiple individuals are using the same computer on the same account. Even though it can only process TXT files, the whole operation is straightforward, but pretty fast, especially since context menu integration is done.

Effortless File Encryption

The application aims to be a pretty fast file encryptor, mostly because it integrates into the context menu on launch. This provides a great deal of comfort, but a system restart might be required for integration to be successful. Another usage method is to drop a file of interest over the executable, generating the same result.

Encryption Password Protection

Once the corresponding item is selected in the context menu, a slim window shows up so you add the encryption password. If context menu integration is successful, you can later on simply double-click on encrypted files to start decrypting. Needless to say that the password is required.
