Age Android is a local-first age file encryption app for Android devices. It pairs a native Jetpack Compose interface with a local Go age engine, keeping encryption, decryption, key management, history, and streaming batch processing on device.

Product page: vikiea.github.io/age_android/

Repository: github.com/vikiea/age_android

Features

Encrypt files or folders into .age archives.
Decrypt .age files and restore archived content.
Generate, import, view, and reuse local X25519 age keys.
Pick files through Android’s storage access framework instead of a remote upload flow.
Review encryption and decryption history, output paths, and task status.
Download a Universal APK or ABI-specific APKs.

Privacy Model

Age Android does not collect analytics, upload files, or transmit passphrases or private keys. Files, passphrases, private keys, and operation history are processed and stored only on the Android device.

Age Mac is a native macOS file encryption app built around the age format. It is a standalone SwiftUI desktop app with a bundled Go streaming engine, designed for local file work: choose files, encrypt or decrypt them, watch progress, and keep keys on your own machine.

Repository: github.com/vikiea/age_mac

Features

Encrypt multiple files into one .tar.gz.age or .tar.age archive.
Encrypt files separately, one age archive per input file.
Decrypt .age files and automatically unpack tar or tar.gz payloads.
Use passphrases or X25519 age keys.
Generate, import, rename, view, and export local age keys.
Import existing keys from ~/.config/age on launch.
Keep operation history, outputs, and task progress local.
Check for app updates with Sparkle through the public GitHub Pages appcast.

The Swift app owns UI, local state, AppKit panels, and task orchestration. The Go engine owns streaming tar, gzip, encryption, and decryption work. Communication between them is JSON Lines over a child process.
