The only one I use and would recommend is GnuPG: https://gnupg.org/download/index.html

I've been using GPGTools for several years now: https://gpgtools.org

The High Sierra (macOS 10.13) version is still in beta, but I've been running it w/o problem for the past ~6 weeks. It integrates nicely with Mail. It is still free, but the programmers were planning to charge a fee for the final version for High Sierra (they announced similar plans for Sierra last year, but in the end released the stable version for free).

thanks for your reply

Didn't know that high sierra would have a fee

Is there a way to downgrade to sierra now ? or ?
[doublepost=1509872746][/doublepost]and this is what I see on apple website ...don't know where the small print on "fee" is added (not contesting your view, just wondering the amount of damage)
