CryptoZ v2.2.0
Update to CryptoZ v2.2.0
π¦ CryptoZ v2.2.0 β "Secure Folder & Live Encryption"
I'm excited to announce the biggest update yet β CryptoZ is no longer just a file encryption tool. Itβs now a proactive security system with real-time protection, intelligent automation, and a seamless user experience.
π Whatβs New?
π Secure Folder β Protected Folder with Live Access
Select any folder β and it becomes automatically encrypted
All new files are instantly encrypted with .encrypted extension
Files are decrypted into a secure temp folder when opened
Edit, save β and theyβre automatically re-encrypted
β
Like VeraCrypt, but simpler, smarter, and built-in.
π Edit & Save Back
Open a file β decrypted to .temp_decrypted
Edit in any app (Word, Notepad, etc.) β save
CryptoZ detects changes β re-encrypts the file
Supports: .txt, .docx, .pdf, .xlsx, and more
π§Ή Auto-Clean & Auto-Lock
π Auto-Lock on Exit: stops monitoring & cleans temp files on app close
π§½ Auto-Cleanup: removes .temp_decrypted, .enc.tmp, .tmp, *~ on startup/shutdown
π‘οΈ No traces left behind β perfect for shared or public computers
