encrypt is a simple, cross platform, file encryption application. It is suitable for any modern desktop or mobile operating system. The GUI, either GTK or native, has been designed to be common across systems and intuitive to use, while still providing command-line capabilities for power-users.
It is currently available as a binary package for several GNU/Linux distributions: Arch, Debian, Fedora, Slackware; as well as FreeBSD, Solaris, Apple’s OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Android. It has also been successfully compiled and shown working on Gentoo and Debian GNU/Hurd.
It supports a wide range of algorithms (provided by GNU’s libgcrypt or gnu-crypto), of which many are common between the two libraries and thus allow encrypted files to be shared between systems. (Check that your target system does support your intended cipher, as support will vary depending on the library available.)

Compiling from source is as simple as running one make
make
Followed by:
make install
- Fix library dependency issue on OS X
- Fix null pointer exceptions on Android
- Update debugging information and improve error handling (all desktop)
- Compile against latest version of dependencies (particularly libgcrypt and gnu-crypto)
- Find a way to merge file/magic info into main magic.mgc file
- File context menu for
- Thunar (consider plugin)
- Nautilus (or Files or whatever it’s called now)
- Konqueror or Dolphin (maybe - it’s Qt based not GTK)
