Native Windows
Built for people — not security experts.
VaultKind is a Windows desktop application for creating, opening, understanding, and checking Cryptomator-compatible encrypted vaults. It combines a native WinUI workspace, local vault engine, Vault Doctor diagnostics, and guidance built directly into the application.
VaultKind 1.0.2 is publicly available through the Microsoft Store. It is a Windows-only GPLv3 derivative compatible with Cryptomator vaults and is not an official Cryptomator or Skymatic product.

Trust and architecture
What VaultKind changes, and what it does not claim
Changed by Webbi Networks
Webbi Networks changed the product direction to a Windows-only, English-only desktop application with a native WinUI shell, Learning Center, Vault Doctor diagnostics, Store packaging, and Webbi Networks publisher presentation.
Cryptographic boundary
The public engineering record says security-sensitive code and Java package identifiers are kept close to upstream where practical. The native Windows frontend talks to the Java vault engine through a narrow local interface; release notes do not claim changes to the vault format or cryptographic behavior.
What this does not prove
Public source code and Microsoft Store certification are useful transparency and distribution signals, but they are not an independent security audit. VaultKind has not had an independent third-party security audit.
