if you run php on your desktop computer then you can use the urlencode() function
Code: html
<html>
<body>
<form action='<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>' method='get'>
<table>
<tr><td>Encode this:</td><td><input type='text' name='url'></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type='submit' value='submit'></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
<hr>
<?= urlencode($_GET['url']) ?>
</body>
</html>

I know you didn't want a web based one, but here is that script on my server for you to use until you find a desktop-based one

Pardon my ignorance, but may I ask why one would need a URL encoder? What are the benefits?

You might need one because according to RFC 1738 an URL can only composed of a subset of the valid ASCII characters.
Well as you might imagine webpages can contain characters from the entire set of characters, not counting UNICODE.
Thus there is the need for encoded URLs.

Many affiliate programs need deeplinking to be encoded for their links to validate correctly.
That is my use of encoding

Thank you matte, I have seen them before and now it makes sense. Isn't it amazing how we never stop learning?
