Cipher lab From Idea to Realese

The Idea:
I wanted a tool where i can use cipher to encrypt/decrypt a message in prebuild and custom cipher. Where we can also encrypt and decrypt whole text flles at once.

The ui itself is dark themed for better visibillity.

Everyday features. Open a .txt file as your message, save the result to a file, copy it to the clipboard, and clear the boxes. Deleting a custom cipher takes two clicks, so one stray click can’t remove one.

The hardest thing :

The packaging. THere were a Ton of errors i had to re write a lot of things for pyinstaller to work.

Thanks for reading. CipherLab v1.0 is out.
