Encrypt and decrypt files with AES-256-GCM
In the era of AI agents, it is becoming increasingly important to protect important files from accidental access.
A Linux app for password-based AES-256-GCM file encryption and decryption.
It replaces the original files with encrypted ones. Back up original files first, for instance in a password-protected archive or an external location.
The app doesn't use internet at all - works completely offline.
The app can encrypt/decrypt files in folders recursively using the same password.
It can search text in file names or encrypted file contents if password is provided.
It can preview supported text contents of encrypted files in memory, without writing plain-text files.
This snap uses strict confinement. It has access to regular files in the
user's home directory by default, and it can optionally access removable media
after the removable-media interface is connected manually - enable it with:
sudo snap connect file-encrypter:removable-media
