What it does
PGP decrypt is one of 55 tools in Hexkit, a desktop developer toolbox that runs entirely on your own machine. Decrypt an ASCII-armored PGP message with your private key.
Because Hexkit is a native app rather than a web page, anything you paste into the pgp decrypt stays local — there are no uploads, no accounts and no telemetry. You can handle keys, signatures and encrypted messages even with the network turned off, which makes it safe for tokens, keys and production data.
