Volaris for Desktop is a graphical frontend for Volaris, a file encryption utility designed to protect sensitive information. The desktop application is built using Svelte and Tauri, combining a modern graphical interface with the encryption functionality provided by the underlying Volaris project.
The application concentrates on simplifying file encryption and decryption through a small number of actions. Users can select files using the graphical interface, create new keyfiles or choose existing ones, and perform encryption operations without interacting directly with the command-line tool. Its emphasis is on keyfile-based encryption rather than the encrypted vaults and mounted filesystems offered by some other applications.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides a graphical frontend for the Volaris file encryption utility.
- Supports file encryption and decryption using keyfiles.
- Can generate new keyfiles or select existing keyfiles from the desktop interface.
- Offers drag-and-drop file selection for encryption operations.
- Uses Svelte and Tauri to provide a desktop interface to the underlying encryption functionality.
