VaultSort for Windows
VaultSort now runs on Windows.
Organizing, deduplication, encryption, Secure Delete, Guardian, scheduled jobs and the on-device AI features all work the way they do on macOS — using Windows equivalents where the system underneath differs. Right down to the wording: you'll see File Explorer, not Finder.
It is a stable release. VaultSort 5.4 was the first stable build for Windows, and the download below is always the current one.

Before you install
Three things worth knowing first.
This is the stable release
VaultSort 5.4 was the first stable build for Windows. The beta channel is still there for anyone who wants to run ahead of it, but it is opt-in — nothing on this page installs it.
Windows will warn you once
The installer is signed with Azure Trusted Signing and timestamped. SmartScreen still builds its reputation from download volume, so expect Windows protected your PC → More info → Run anyway. It fades as downloads accumulate. Nothing is wrong with the signature.
Joining the beta is close to one-way
Updates never move backwards. Switch to Stable after installing a beta and you stop receiving beta updates, but you stay on the build you have until a stable release passes it. Worth reading the full explanation before you opt in.
Native to the platform
Not a port. Built for how Windows actually works.
Storage behaves differently on Windows, and so does the shell. These are the parts that had to be built for it rather than translated.
File Explorer context menu
Right-click any file or folder to encrypt, decrypt or securely delete it. Every entry can be switched off individually from its own settings panel.
Disk Shred
Erase a whole drive or a single volume. VaultSort confirms exactly what will be destroyed, overwrites every sector the device reports as addressable, and reports progress in real bytes rather than a spinner.
Free-space overwrite
Overwrite the unused space on a drive so files deleted long before VaultSort was installed cannot be recovered from what was left behind.
TRIM for flash drives
Where overwriting free space cannot work the way it does on a spinning disk, VaultSort asks the drive whether it accepts TRIM and offers that instead. If the drive says no, it says so plainly.
Controlled Folder Access, explained
When Windows blocks a location, you get a dialog that says what happened and what to do about it — not a toast that vanishes before you have read it.
A window that belongs to the app
Frameless, with VaultSort’s own minimize, maximize and close controls, so the app looks like itself rather than like a default title bar with something inside it.
Everything else
The rest of VaultSort came with it.

Expect a SmartScreen prompt on first run: More info → Run anyway. The installer is signed; the warning is about reputation, not the signature.
