Features
Encrypted file containers without disk mounting
They only receive an encrypted file. Without the master password, all layer keys, and the correct order of layers, the contents and names remain inaccessible.
Create containerPro and Max can split a container into fixed-size parts. Keep the .lbx file and all .lbx1, .lbx2... parts in one folder before extraction.
Compression / Crypto padding above containerSelective restore: extract a few files or folders from a large encrypted container while leaving the rest untouched.
Browse containerMax can create LockBox containers on a schedule while the app stays open or minimized to the tray. It is useful for regular encrypted backups and safe transfer of confidential data.
LockBox for AndroidUse --script when the procedure has several steps. Commands run in order, stop on the first error by default, and return a process exit code for the parent script.
Full CLI documentationLockBox overwrites the container with encrypted random-looking data while preserving the original size.
How to enableSecurity
All processing is local on the computer. LockBox does not collect, upload, or send information about your files, folders, keys, passwords, license, device, or user account.
The master password opens the encrypted metadata of the container. Metadata tells the program how many encryption layers exist and which algorithms were used.
AES-256-GCM · PBKDF2-SHA512If any layer key is wrong, that layer cannot be decrypted and unpacking stops with an error. The program cannot guess or recover missing keys.
AEAD / HMACFor automation, prefer --master-env, --master-file, --layer-env, and --layer-file. Inline secrets work, but they may be saved in shell history or process logs.
CLI documentationProtect your device and keep strong keys and tested backups. Creation, browsing and extraction use temporary plaintext files. Lost keys cannot be recovered. Destruction overwrites the selected container; other copies remain, and secure erasure on SSDs or flash storage is not guaranteed.

A container is one encrypted file that stores the selected folder, nested folders, file contents, and encrypted file and folder names.
The container can be transferred through public channels because the data inside remains encrypted. Do not publish passwords or keys together with the container.
Crypto padding adds encrypted random data to make the final container larger than the real payload. It helps hide the approximate size of the original files.
The master password opens the encrypted metadata of the container. Metadata tells the program how many encryption layers exist and which algorithms were used.
If any layer key is wrong, that layer cannot be decrypted and unpacking stops with an error. The program cannot guess or recover missing keys.
It is a Max-only pressure-safety feature. A separate password silently overwrites the container instead of opening it, with no confirmation at the metadata password step.
Protect your device and keep strong keys and tested backups. Creation, browsing and extraction use temporary plaintext files. Lost keys cannot be recovered. Destruction overwrites the selected container; other copies remain, and secure erasure on SSDs or flash storage is not guaranteed.
