CodeMixer

CodeMixer is a lightweight and easy to use software solution developed to help you protect the contents of your files, regardless of their format, enabling you to prevent them from being used without your knowledge.

The application comes in the shape of three different stand-alone programs, that require no installation, namely CodeMixer-Green, CodeMixer-Red and CodeMixer-Blue; these differ from one another due to the used encryption key, but otherwise feature the same appearance.

The main window is fairly basic and unimpressive, which in turn makes it easy to handle by inexperienced individuals, as you will not need to spend too much time trying to figure it out.

For starters, you need to load the source file, be it a song, an image, a video, a document or even other software tools. Subsequently, you will have to specify a destination folder and filename for the generated item; however, bear in mind that it does not support working in batch, so if you intend to process multiple objects, you will need to do so one at a time.

Next, you can type the password you want to use to protect your file by clicking on the letters, numbers or special characters that you wish to insert from the virtual keyboard. If you happen to make a mistake, you can just press ‘Reset Password’ which will remove everything you previously typed.

Make sure you remember the password, as CodeMixer does not feature a recovery method, nor does it allow you to reveal what you have written to make sure it matches what you had intended. Finally, you can press on the ‘Run’ button, and the utility will issue a warning telling you to use the same ‘color’ of CodeMixer for encrypting and decrypting the file, completing the operation, then exiting.

In summary, CodeMixer is an intuitive and efficient application whose main purpose is to offer you the means of securing your most sensitive files, so as to deter ill-intended individuals from accessing them without your consent.
