VaultBar

Drag & drop files onto the menu bar or the drop zone, confirm with Touch ID or a password, and you’re done. VaultBar performs strong encryption and decryption entirely on your Mac – no cloud, no telemetry, no background daemons – your data never leaves your device. Built for speed and clarity, it gets out of the way while keeping you in control. VaultBar streamlines secure encryption into a clean, minimal workflow. All operations run locally. The app automatically recognizes whether a file should be encrypted or decrypted, preventing double-handling and mistakes. Use Touch ID for quick confirmation, with a password always available as a fallback. Choose a KDF profile that balances speed and security for your Mac, and adjust chunk size to keep large jobs responsive. Writes are in-place and atomic to protect file integrity, and original extensions are restored on decrypt for predictable results. A concise history summarizes recent jobs with clear success and error states. Built with SwiftUI, VaultBar feels fully native in both light and dark mode, with smooth, unobtrusive animations. Key Features • Encrypt and decrypt via drag-and-drop in the menu bar and drop zone. • All processing is local. No cloud, telemetry, or background daemons. • Auto-detects encrypt vs. decrypt to prevent mistakes. • Touch ID / Face ID via Secure Enclave with password fallback. • Choose Simple, Balanced, or Strong KDF profiles. • Adjust chunk size for large files while the UI stays responsive. • In-place, atomic writes; original extensions are restored on decrypt. • Progress appears in the menu bar with a recent-jobs history. • Native SwiftUI app with light/dark mode and a subtle glass look. Encryption Details • AES-256-GCM for authenticated encryption (confidentiality + integrity). • Keys derived via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with a per-file random salt and calibrated iterations. • Fresh random nonce (IV) per operation; never reused. Designed for macOS • Swift UI, light/dark mode, smooth animations • No background daemons, no cloud dependencies • Fast, lightweight, fully native macOS feeling • Minimal footprint, no background daemons • Compatible with macOS 13.5 or newer VaultBar does not collect personal data or send information to external servers.
