About

Hideout is a minimal and secure desktop application for file encryption and decryption, powered by GnuPG. It provides a simple drag-and-drop interface to protect your sensitive files.

  • Simple UI: Drag and drop files to encrypt or decrypt.
  • Secure: Uses GPG symmetric encryption.
  • Multi-language: Supported in several languages.
