  2. A Windows app that locks your text messages so tightly only the right person can read them. Works fully offline — no internet, no account, no cloud. Stays private even if your files get stolen. Locks itself when you step away, wipes itself if someone tries to break in.

    Post-quantum file encryption built on the age protocol. Seal a file to a quantum-safe ML-KEM-768 hybrid key, sign it with a YubiKey over NFC, and hand it to anyone with the age CLI. Any size you like: a 1 GB file encrypts like a small one.
