vaultex 0.1.0

Extract and merge files from a folder with precision — a lightweight GUI tool for developers and LLM workflows.

🔐 Vaultex

Extract what you need. Nothing more.

Vaultex is a lightweight GUI tool that lets you scan a folder and merge all matching files into a single text output — ready to paste into an LLM, a doc, or anywhere you need a full-project snapshot.

The idea is simple: when you're working with a codebase or a collection of files, you often need to quickly gather specific types of files across nested folders. Vaultex gives you precise control over what gets included, what gets skipped, and how the result is organized — all through a clean interface.
