Your first hour with FileGuardian Ultra
A short plan for getting to a real result while the trial is still running.
Start the free trial
Get FileGuardian Ultra from the Microsoft Store. The Store page shows how long the trial lasts, so you know your window before you begin.
Use your own work
Try it on your own PC and real tasks rather than a quick look around. That is the only test that tells you whether it earns its place.

Decide before it ends
If it earned its place, buy it on the Microsoft Store before the trial runs out. The purchase unlocks the copy you already have, so there is nothing to reinstall.

Who it is for
FileGuardian Ultra is built for people who want their machine to run properly without handing a cleanup tool the keys to their data.
It sits in the pc performance & control part of the catalogue, and your files never leave the machine to be processed. There is no server behind FileGuardian Ultra to send them to.
Local-first, by design
Plenty of the alternatives send your files to a server to be handled. FileGuardian Ultra does not. Processing runs on your CPU or GPU, and the files you point it at stay where you put them. The application keeps working with the network switched off.
That is not a setting you enable, it is how FileGuardian Ultra is built, which is why there is no account to create and no subscription to lapse. Full detail is in the FileGuardian Ultra privacy policy.
