Developer Don Williams created Encore in 1984. The first version of the program was published by Passport Designs; subsequent versions of the program were published by other companies, including GVOX and Passport Music Software.

Encore allows composers to create, play back, and print musical scores. These scores are saved as ENC files. To create a score, composers can either import .MIDI files, record themselves playing music via a MIDI device, or manually place and edit notes (as well as other notation).

You can open an ENC file with Passport Music Software Encore (Windows, macOS) or Myraid Harmony Assistant (Windows, macOS).

You can use Passport Music Software Encore or Myraid Harmony Assistant to convert ENC files to the .MXL (Compressed MusicXML) format, which is supported by many music composition and notation programs.

You can open ENC files with the free ArtistScope CopySafe PDF Reader app in Windows. For example, to open an ENC file with CopySafe PDF Reader, select File → Open.

Samsung Smart Switch is the official backup app used to transfer a user's contacts, photos, call history, apps, and other data from one Samsung Galaxy phone to another. When creating a backup, Smart Switch creates many encrypted files, including ENC files.

Each ENC file is an encrypted copy of an APK file installed on a phone. Smart Switch uses ENC files to reinstall backed-up apps during the backup restore process. You cannot use ENC files to manually reinstall backed-up apps, because Smart Switch must decrypt the files before they can be used.

ENC files are not meant to be opened. You can use Samsung Smart Switch to restore a Galaxy backup that contains ENC files to a Galaxy phone. Doing so will install the apps your ENC files contain on your phone.
