How it works

FREE APP LOCK / 8.1.0

What This Edition Focuses On

A focused original-file workflow, with recovery included in the design.

The 8.1.0 Workflow

  • Protect selected local executable files using NTFS permissions; leave content and embedded signatures intact.
  • Inspect actual file state, refresh records and locate a moved original by identity.
  • Require password confirmation for restoration and password changes.
  • Store encrypted local records and export encrypted recovery snapshots.
  • Choose a saved light or dark appearance and adjust display identity in brand.ini.
  • Keep restrictions active after closing the manager without a monitoring service.

For People Returning from an Older Edition

This workflow does not imply that older encryption modes, context-menu commands, startup prompts or password-reset methods are still available. Read the edition compatibility notes before using a historical backup or guide.
