#### A very small, very simple, yet very secure encryption tool.

Picocrypt NG (new generation) is a very small (hence Pico), very simple, yet very secure encryption tool that you can use to protect your files.

It's designed to be the go-to tool for file encryption, with a focus on security, simplicity, and reliability.

Picocrypt NG uses the secure XChaCha20 cipher and the Argon2id key derivation function to provide a high level of security.

**This is an unofficial snap. Please report crashes and other issues to me and not the original developers.**
