Gyroown

[English] [简体中文]

A fully local, offline dynamic encrypted repository that safeguards your data while enabling you to transmit data externally from within it to any destination.

User password authenticates identity → internal fixed asymmetric key pair (private key encrypts / public key decrypts) secures files. The key pair plaintext never changes after initial generation. Encrypted data stored at %USERPROFILE%\.Gyroown\data\, vault key ciphertext at auth\vault-key.enc protected by user password. Decrypted content exists only in RAM — never written to disk.

  • File Explorer-like UI: multi-view file list, virtual directory tree, drag-in to encrypt / drag-out to decrypt
  • Background resident: closing the window hides to system tray, not exit. Single instance only.
  • Four unlock methods: 6-digit PIN / 3×3 gesture pattern / custom password / picture password
  • i18n: default Simplified Chinese, INI language pack switching
  • 8 accent presets + system/light/dark themes

v0.1.4 · GitHub

All features fully implemented. Single-window design: setup / unlock / file management / settings all in one window.

Architecture

  • GUI: WinUI 3, single-window File Explorer layout, theme switching
  • Encryption: RSA 2048 + AES-256-GCM, data/ + meta/ 1:1 per file
  • Keys: Internal fixed asymmetric key pair, plaintext never changes. Password change only re-encrypts auth/vault-key.enc
  • Data: Fully stored in %USERPROFILE%\.Gyroown\, decryption in RAM only, no registry/environment variable usage
