SiriKali is a Qt and C++ graphical application for working with encrypted folders and remote file systems.
It provides a unified desktop front end for a range of encryption backends, letting users create, unlock, and manage encrypted storage through a single interface rather than dealing directly with multiple command line tools. It can also connect to SSH servers through sshfs.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports multiple backends including CryFS, gocryptfs, securefs, eCryptfs, EncFS, fscrypt, sshfs, and Cryptomator.
- Works on Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows.
- Can manage both local encrypted folders and remote SSH mounts from the same interface.
- Includes Flatpak support and is also available through distribution packages and other platform-specific package sources.
- Provides options to install or configure supported backends for use with the application.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
