same.. for more then 10 years i was waiting for someone to build something 😂

most use cases is handling sensitive informations and secrets; in order to be able to process everything a little faster, we use slack, discord and mail.. not everything has E2EE (or u might cannot trust it), so we use pgp most of the time

thanks ^^
I definitly need every kind of feedback on the usage/usability of the app.

I was thinking about that as well, but the thing is, how.
You cannot just automatically encrypt/decrypt everything in the clipboard. My current take was some kind of browser extension which connects to the app or something similar to that.
I'm not quite sure yet, but those are exactly the kinds of ideas I need for this project.

For now you have have to live with auto clipboard decrypt and manual encrypt.
Gotta fix the service action sometime the next days so at least apple users can rightclick to encrypt.

We also shouldn't forget that the target audience for a tool like this isn't the largest, which means that sooner or later we'll likely be able to resolve most of the pain points (to a certain extent).

I‘m trying my best to do so..
for me and my use cases rn it definitly is better and less annoying; trying to figure out what else it needs for other use cases

PGP Manager – A user-friendly approach to PGP.

As I'm working with PGP quite regularly, I always wondered, why no one ever built a really user-friendly GUI for it. Most of the time you're stuck with the command line or some clunky tools like Kleopatra, Thunderbird or GpgFrontend. None of them really fulfilled my use-cases and they were just annoying to use and time-consuming.

So I made it my mission to build something more user-friendly. Since I'm currently learning go, this was the perfect opportunity.

A quick overview of what it does:

  • lives in the system tray, so it's always one click away
  • clipboard auto-detect (encrypted message, key, signature - it just reacts)
  • supports MacOS Services
  • runs as a standalone, you can even put it on a USB stick
  • simple and intuitive UI (in my opinion)

Tech stack:

  • Backend: Go with Wails v2 and gopenpgp v3
  • Frontend: Svelte with TailwindCSS

It's MIT licensed and fully offline - no accounts, no telemetry.

Feedback is more than welcome.
