// overview
What it does
PGP encrypt is one of 55 tools in Hexkit, a desktop developer toolbox that runs entirely on your own machine. Encrypt a message to a recipient's OpenPGP public key (SEIPDv1 / AES-256).
Because Hexkit is a native app rather than a web page, anything you paste into the pgp encrypt 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.
