Everything stays on your machine

PwDone is built for people who cannot send a confidential archive to a cloud cracker. The app bundles extractors and recovery engines; your job is to point it at a file and say what you remember about the password.

No upload path
Hash extraction and cracking run locally. Network use is limited to license validation and optional update checks—not your documents.
Guided workflow
You choose a file, describe what you know (common password, partial mask, or no clue), and start recovery. Hash modes and attack flags stay internal.
GPU with CPU fallback
Hashcat accelerates on supported GPUs; John the Ripper covers CPU fallback when needed. Both ship inside the installer.
Recovery history
Successful passwords are stored in a local history file on your device so the same hash can be answered instantly later. You can review and clear history in the app.

From encrypted file to password

Select the file, say what you remember, tune length and character set if needed, then let recovery run. Progress, speed, and candidates are shown live; you can pause and resume.

The full walkthrough includes five steps with screenshots—file pick, strategy, configuration, recovery, and copying the result.

Frequently asked questions

Can PwDone recover any password?

No tool can guarantee recovery. PwDone runs the most effective strategies first—dictionary and rules, then partial masks and deeper search. Weak or reused passwords are often found quickly; long random passwords may not be recoverable in practical time.

Are my files or hashes uploaded?

Never. Analysis, hash extraction, and recovery all run on your computer. Nothing is sent to PwDone servers for processing. See the privacy policy for what the website and license checkout collect (separate from recovery).

Do I need an account to recover a file?

No. The desktop app works without signing in. After purchase, a license key arrives by email and is entered in the app.

Which editions and formats are supported?

PwDone is sold in PDF, Archives (ZIP, RAR, 7z), Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and All editions. Each installer only accepts the formats for that edition.

How do subscriptions and lifetime licenses work?

Monthly and yearly plans renew until cancelled. Lifetime is a one-time purchase. Every plan includes at least one year of application updates from purchase.
