Hi!
Xecrets Ez is an easy-to use software for local file encryption. In addition to macOS it also supports Windows and Linux. It's also 100% compatible with the well-known AxCrypt software, in fact it uses the same open source GPL code.
Check out https://www.axantum.com/ for downloads, documentation and all other details.
There's a completely free version which supports encryption and decryption of files with just a few clicks. All encryption is done with maximum strength AES-256.
A low-cost premium subscription gives you access to a number of convenience features such as easy viewing, editing and re-encryption, YubiKey hardware token support, secure erasing of files, randomly renaming of files to avoid file names giving away information, multiple user profiles and much more.
It has just the right features to protect your local or cloud service files from prying eyes, and many languages are supported in the user interface.
Although it's not visible for the user, it has an architecture where all the heavy lifting, i.e. encryption/decryption, is made by a GPL licensed open source command line available on github thus ensuring that the security is auditable and open. The command line can also be used by devops via scripts, as well as by .NET developers via an SDK. The user interface is developed with AvaloniaUI, a cross-platform framework for .NET .
It's very actively developed and is built on the latest .NET 8 framework and with current tooling. We strive to keep all dependencies current and updated frequently.
I'm Svante Seleborg, and I'm the original author of AxCrypt versions 1.x and 2.x, and now Xecrets Ez which is the successor to AxCrypt from Axantum Software which I represent. I am in no way affiliated with the company that currently markets and sells AxCrypt.
Hoping to get feedback and suggestions from the community to further improve the Xecrets family of software for macOS!
