decayfmt

File format/CLI where every open permanently and irreversibly corrupts the image or text a bit.

Desktopfreeglobal

decayfmt is a command-line tool and file format that makes an image or text file corrupt a little more, permanently, every time it is opened, with no way to recover the original from the file alone. The rate of decay is set in the filename, and each open uses fresh randomness so the same file never decays identically twice. It is aimed at people who want a deliberately impermanent digital photo or note rather than a normal, unchanging file.
