SECRET

SECRET is a lightweight app with a name that says it all! This tool helps you encrypt data on your computer easily, keeping your important info safe and sound.

Easy to Use for Everyone

You might notice there’s no regular graphical interface (GUI) here. Instead, you’ll use the command console in Windows. Now, I know that might seem a bit scary for beginners, but don’t worry! The syntax of SECRET is super simple. You only have two main options to play with: encrypt and decrypt. Pretty straightforward, right? Just remember to tell the program if you're working with a file or a directory by using “-f” or “-d” as needed!

Encrypting Files Made Simple

SECRET lets you encrypt individual files or even an entire folder at once! Just point it to the folder's location, and it’ll take care of all the files inside—no matter their size or type.

Customize Your Encryption Process

The default setting doesn’t go into subdirectories when encrypting. But guess what? You can change that easily! With just a little tweak, SECRET can run through all the subdirectories and encrypt everything it finds, one file at a time.

Your Original Files Are Safe

The cool thing is that SECRET keeps your original files intact. It saves the encrypted versions in the same spot but adds a “.secret” extension to them. If you want to automatically delete the originals after encryption, there's an option for that too—but make sure to test things out first before using the “-delete” flag!

Easily Decrypt Your Files

If you need to get back your original files later, decrypting them is just as simple! Just use the “-decrypt” flag instead. You’ll need to enter the password you set during encryption to unlock everything again. And yes, batch decryptions are totally possible too!

A Handy Tool for Developers

If you’re looking for a traditional encryption tool, this might not be what you expect since it’s more of a console application. But if you're into creating scripts or automation software related to encryption, this tool can be super useful!
