🔗 Official Website (Best of both worlds, SourceForge & GitHub): https://raidencorporation.github.io/ZanyonLocker
ZanyonLocker uses AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard) to securely encrypt your data for privacy.
ZanyonLocker is great for long-term use, even though it is not popular. Here is real and verified proof:
1. SourceForge: On SourceForge, it has been officially verified that ZanyonLocker is malware-free.
2. C# Source Code File: If you look at the official ZanyonLocker Safety Proof Code, it is verified that there is 0 traits of any type of any malware in it. If you don't believe me, check it yourself.
3. VirusTotal Scan: ZanyonLocker has gotten an extremely clean 1/67 score on VirusTotal. You can see the verified scan results here.
Crucial Note: Results and analysis may vary slightly depending on the ZanyonLocker version.
ZanyonLocker runs on the user interface named ZanyonUI. It is a modern type of UI that uses Mica/Aero effects and glass effects with smooth animations and fluid colours. It is a UI, not a framework!
📲 Latest ZanyonUI version: ZanyonUI 1.0 Beta (in ZanyonLocker v4.0), ZanyonUI 1.0 will be in ZanyonLocker v5.0.
🗣️ Language: Available only in South African English (en-ZA) which follows British English conventions. No version of ZanyonLocker is written in American English.
To encrypt your first file using ZanyonLocker, follow these steps in order. First, run the zl_setup.exe installer to set up ZanyonLocker on your PC, then open the application from your Start Menu, Desktop shortcut or by right-clicking a file in Windows Explorer. When the main window opens, you will see three main steps. First, click Set up a password. A window will pop up asking you to enter a password only YOU know. After setting your password, you can proceed to the second step: Encrypt a file. When prompted, enter the password you created. A File Explorer window will pop up allowing you to select any file or folder to encrypt. Once selected, the file will be encrypted and given a .zanyon extension (eg secret.txt » secret.txt.zanyon). To decrypt a file, open ZanyonLocker and click Decrypt a file. Enter your password when prompted, select the encrypted .zanyon file in the File Explorer window, and it will be restored to its original state (eg secret.txt.zanyon » secret.txt). You can also configure app preferences, toggle dark mode or check for live updates directly from the Settings gear icon in the top-left header.
💡 Pro Tip: ZanyonLocker keeps the original file for safety. To ensure total privacy, manually delete the original file after you see the .zanyon version created. This method is used for backup purposes.
| Requirement | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 10 22H2 |
| Processor (CPU) | Intel® Core™ i3 |
| Memory (RAM) | 4.00 GB RAM |
| Storage | 2MB Free Space |
| Architecture | x64 (64-bit) |
Note: These are mimimum requirements, meaning, for example it says at least Windows 10, 22H2, but if you don't have an old version like that and you have a later version, that is perfect. If it meets all Requirements, then ZanyonLocker will run perfectly. More Space = Faster Encryption.
