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.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
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.
