#### Open-source offline file security workstation

ChaBox is an open-source, free, no-sign-up, zero-preset offline file
security workstation for personal and professional use.

It supports local encryption, decryption, archiving, unarchiving, and
secure wipe, and does not rely on cloud services.

Core capabilities:

* Secure Note: write like a Markdown notebook with immersive editing
  and live preview, while notes are automatically encrypted at rest.
* ChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption with streaming integrity checks.
* One-click smart encrypt/decrypt workflows for efficient file handling.
* Batch and directory governance for migration, backup, and auditing.
* Secure wipe to reduce plaintext residue risk.

## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install ChaBox

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply.

Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo pacman -S snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install ChaBox

To install ChaBox, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install chabox
```
