Local-first age encryption for macOS.
Encrypt folders, decrypt archives, manage age keys, and keep every secret on your Mac with a native SwiftUI desktop app.

Native SwiftUI Liquid Glass style
What it does
A desktop workbench for everyday encrypted files.
Age Mac pairs a native macOS interface with a local Go age engine, so large file work stays streamed, visible, and under your control.
Archive-aware decrypt
Decrypt .age files and automatically expand tar or tar.gz content when the output can be safely restored.
Local key management
Generate, import, rename, view, and export age keys. Private key material is stored in the macOS Keychain.
Long task feedback
Progress, detailed history, output counts, and Finder reveal actions make long-running file operations easier to audit.
Desktop-native flow
Pick files, choose a secret, watch the work finish.
The app uses familiar macOS windows, sidebars, toolbars, file panels, keyboard shortcuts, and Finder navigation instead of a web-style upload flow.
- ✓Outputs are organized into encrypted and decrypted folders.
- ✓Compression, duplicate handling, theme, language, and concurrency live in Settings.
- ✓Result rows can jump straight to the output location in Finder.
Local privacy boundary
Files, passphrases, private keys, and detailed history stay on this Mac.
Age Mac does not upload files, telemetry, keys, passphrases, or operation history. History stores safe key-name hints, truncated public-key previews, and private-key fingerprints, never passphrases or private key material. Sparkle update checks read only public appcast metadata.
