Pricing FAQ

Lock, Open, Remove password, Change password, and the recovery key are free with no time limit and no payment required.

What does FoldCrypt Pro add?

Pro unlocks Smart Folders, plus priority updates and support. A Smart Folder looks like a normal folder: double-click it, enter your password, work in place, and let FoldCrypt re-lock it after inactivity, screen lock, logout, or app quit.

What happens after the 14-day Pro trial?

Smart Folder functionality requires Pro after the trial. Lock, Open, Remove password, Change password, and recovery keep working free forever.

How is the Pro license delivered?

Lemon Squeezy emails your license key after purchase. Enter that key inside FoldCrypt to activate Pro.

Does FoldCrypt require an account or cloud storage?
