🔒 Your Files. Your Rules. Your Security.

What if protecting a file didn't require uploading it somewhere, creating an account, or navigating through a complicated cloud dashboard?

What if your desktop security tools were right there on your Windows machine?

Meet ATLOCK v4.0 — An Akhouri Systems Product.

A Windows security application built around one idea:

Your personal files deserve more than being left accessible on your desktop.

⚫ NOT ANOTHER CLOUD DASHBOARD.

ATLOCK brings multiple security-related functions together in a desktop application.

No complicated cloud setup. No subscription required to download the current release.

Just a Windows application with a focused set of security features.

🛡️ WHAT'S INSIDE ATLOCK v4.0?

01 — FILE GUARD

Protect selected files using Windows-level access controls, with a fallback locking method where the Windows security APIs are unavailable.

02 — PASSWORD VAULT

A local vault for organizing sensitive entries, with Fernet-based encryption and password-derived keys.

03 — LOCKDOWN

A system-locking feature with a countdown and Windows-specific keyboard restrictions.

04 — INTRUDER OPS

Configurable security responses to incorrect password attempts, including notifications, sound alerts, and camera capture.

Camera functionality requires compatible hardware and supporting dependencies.

05 — SETTINGS

Control supported security-response options and configure application behavior.

⚙️ BUILT WITH A DIFFERENT MINDSET

ATLOCK is developed under Akhouri Systems, with an emphasis on desktop software and practical security-related functionality.

The goal isn't to turn every simple task into another account, subscription, or cloud dependency.

It's to build software that gives users more control over their own computing environment.

👨‍💻 BUILT BY AKHOURI SYSTEMS

ATLOCK is part of the software development work happening at Akhouri Systems.

The objective is straightforward:

Build useful software. Keep it accessible. Keep improving it.

And this isn't where development stops.

👀 ATLOCK v5 is on the horizon.

More details will be shared when the next version is ready for public release.

No fabricated launch date. No imaginary feature announcements. Just development, iteration, and the next milestone.
