Stop typing the password every time

Enter the open password once and get an identical copy that no longer asks for it. You must know the password — this does not crack unknown passwords.

Private by design

Type the open password once and the unlocked copy builds on this device. Bank statements and payslips stay local, and the password never travels anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Can it crack unknown passwords?

No — you must know the password. This removes the prompt from files you can legitimately open.

Is the unlocked copy identical?

Content is identical; the password requirement and optional restrictions are gone.
