CLUSTER DESKTOP-DECRYPTS-ENCRYPTS · 23 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2019-07-11
File encryption and decryption tools
This cluster consists of desktop-centric utilities that encrypt, decrypt, and sometimes convert or manage files and vaults locally, ranging from AES-256 file tools to OpenPGP editors and encrypted archives. The dated history shows sparse entries from 2016 through 2022, with activity increasing from 2025 onward; the highest monthly counts were two entries in both 2026-03 and 2026-06. Traction is led by BastionVault with one star, followed by file-encryption-tauri and Decrypt It with zero stars each.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 3 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
