Hi age maintainers,
I built Age Mac, a native macOS GUI app for working with the age file format:
https://github.com/vikiea/age_mac
I wanted to share it in case it is useful to macOS users who prefer a desktop app for local file encryption and decryption while keeping age-compatible files.
Age Mac is:
- local-first: no file uploads, telemetry upload, cloud sync, or remote key storage
- a native SwiftUI macOS app with DMG releases for Apple Silicon, Intel, and universal builds
- built around a bundled Go streaming engine for encryption and decryption work
- supports passphrases and X25519 age keys
- supports encrypting multiple files into
.tar.age / .tar.gz.age, separate per-file archives, and automatic tar/tar.gz extraction on decrypt
- supports local key generation, import, rename, view, and export, including importing existing keys from
~/.config/age
- released under the MIT License

GitHub Releases:

If the age project has an ecosystem/tools page or another preferred place for third-party apps, would you consider listing Age Mac there? If opening an issue is not the right channel, please feel free to close this and point me to the preferred place.
Thanks for age and for keeping the format simple and interoperable.
