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

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, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install File Encrypter, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install file-encrypter
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
