Nice user-friendly & lightweight app to encrypt/decrypt files and folders.
Multi-Platform, minimal and open-source
Splendid portable app! Tested on Windows10, needed it in order to hide some folders. Great options, great scripts, great interface!
Easy to use, but for desktop only. As simple as drag and drop the file to be encrypted to the UI. There is also a built-in password generator. The generated password has to be kept securely (use Bitwarden or KeePassXC). As additional security, drag and drop a keyfile or generate one using the built-in keyfile generator. There is currently no way to open Picocrypt files in Android/iOS. Until there is a mobile app for Picocrypt, pairing Veracrypt with EDS (EDS Lite) or Sirikali with DroidFS is arguably the most practical choice.
