• XOR Encoding. Implements the XOR algorithm to transform file data. This method performs bitwise operations between the original data and a user-provided key, generating encrypted content.
• File Decoding. Restores encoded files to their original state by applying the same XOR algorithm with the correct key. The reverse process recovers the initial data.
• Graphical Selection Interface. Incorporates native operating system dialog boxes for file selection. Uses the sqweek/dialog library for consistent integration with the environment.
• Cross-platform. Compiled for different architectures and operating systems. Includes versions for Windows on AMD64, 386, and ARM64 architectures, as well as for Linux on AMD64.
• Small Size. The executable maintains compact dimensions under 4 megabytes. This feature facilitates its distribution and storage.
• Batch Processing. Allows encoding of multiple files in a single operation. Users can select multiple items for sequential processing.
• Key Management. Supports keys of different lengths for encryption. The security of the process depends directly on the key used in XOR operations.
• Metadata Preservation. Maintains basic file attributes during the encoding process. File names and extensions remain unchanged.
• Integrity Verification. Includes mechanisms to validate correct encoding and decoding. Processed files can be verified through comparison with originals.
• Connection Independence. Works completely without requiring an internet connection. All operations are performed locally on the user's device.
• Visual Progress Indicators. Displays file processing progress during operations. Users can monitor the current status of encoding or decoding.
• Error Handling. Detects and reports problems during file processing. Includes specific messages for different types of operational errors.

The development of GoFileEncoder began in 2023 as a personal project. The creator is Eliotttak, who implemented the program using the Go programming language. The application was built with the goal of providing a basic encryption tool with a graphical interface. Initial versions included support for Windows and Linux, with plans for expansion to other operating systems. The source code is available on GitHub under an open-source license.
