Seems that way and if development continues to go well, it's a dedicated anti ransomware program to consider and keep in mind as a combo/supplement as an additional layer for sure. I use to beta test and contributed to ransomoff early on by Heilig and it grabbed most the limelight for a brief time (as it showed promise then) while AppCheck slowly and methodically has overtaken the reasonably good position it finds itself at today with ever evolving ransomware flying off the assembly lines. Ransomoff simply ceased just when today it's vital to have a solid anti-ransomware program that offers reasonable protection in what it shows courtesy @cruelsister brief test.For it’s main purpose, blocking ransomware and restoring files, it’s as good as the paid version from my experience.
I don’t think the extra tools are worth it (paying will rather be a compliment to the creator for the excellent piece of software), that‘s what AV are for, and there are plenty good, and even free options out there.
