TIL #PicoCrypt has been archived. That's a shame. It's very solid software that I've recommended to many people as a simple file encryption tool with a GUI.
Sure, there's Cryptomator, VeraCrypt, and some others. But they don't quite capture the simple elegance PicoCrypt did.

Argh, sucks. #Picocrypt is (was) a nice little tool for encrypting files and folders in Go with #XChaCha20 and #Argon2id. Thanks for the hard work.

#Picocrypt 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 encryption, with a focus on security, simplicity, and reliability. Picocrypt uses the secure #XChaCha20 cipher and the #Argon2id key derivation function to provide a high level of security, even from three-letter agencies like the NSA. Your privacy and security is under attack. Take it back with confidence by protecting your files with Picocrypt.
