First public release of LockPad, an encrypted notepad for Windows. Notebooks are standard KDBX 4.1 files (AES-256, Argon2id) written through the official, unmodified KeePassLib 2.61.1, so KeePassXC can always open them.
Not independently audited: LockPad passes its full automated test suite (1186 tests) and a full manual test pass, and has been through AI-assisted security reviews and red-team attacks, but not a third-party audit. See SECURITY.md.
Install
Portable, nothing to install. Unzip, keep the files in the LockPad folder together, and run LockPad.exe. Requires Windows 10 (1903 or later) or Windows 11; .NET Framework 4.8 is part of Windows.
Verify before you run it
- Zip SHA-256:

LockPadfolder runGet-FileHash * -Algorithm SHA256; each file listed inSHA256SUMS.txtmust match. This only catches a damaged unzip, sinceSHA256SUMS.txtis inside the zip; the zip hash above is the check that catches a changed download.
LockPad is not code-signed, so SmartScreen may warn. Verify the hashes first, then choose "More info" > "Run anyway".
Built from commit adbee96 (Release, .NET Framework 4.8).
