Instead of manually trying each password, AES Cypher lets you load a text file with your common passwords and automatically tests them. When it finds the right one, it shows you which password worked.
It's not a password cracker. This only works if the correct password is in your list. But if you have a rough idea you can generate variations and try them all.
Features: - AES-256-CBC encryption with PBKDF2 (100k iterations) - Dual mode: encrypt or decrypt files - Batch password testing from a file - Works with any file type - Mac native app, works offline - One-time purchase ($9.99), no subscription
The app is built with Python/Tkinter and uses the Cryptography library.
Target audience is: 1. Non-technical users who need this functionality and dont know how to run scripts in the CLI 2. Technical users who want a quick GUI tool instead of context-switching to terminal 3. People helping less-technical friends/family (easier to send an app than teach them scripting)
