✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet OpenPGP_Applet — a GNOME applet for OpenPGP text encryption 💖 (it's the 1p manpage, so yes, she's a Perl script under all that sparkle).

🎀 VERSION 🎀

Version 1.0 — that's the whole vibe, no notes 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does she actually do? OpenPGP Applet lets you encrypt and decrypt the clipboard's content with a symmetric cipher using a passphrase. It's a graphical frontend sitting on top of GnuPG — like, GnuPG but make it cute and clickable 🫶

Asymmetric decryption and clipboard verification are also supported. Yeah. She does both. Iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

🦋 PREREQUISITES 🦋

Real talk, bestie, there's one thing she does not do: OpenPGP Applet does not handle passphrase input. And since she also doesn't offer terminal interaction unless you explicitly run her from a terminal, she relies in practice on some kind of GnuPG agent to manage passphrase input — think pinentry, Seahorse 2.x or GNOME keyring 3.x.

tl;dr: she needs a friend to hold the secrets. she is not the one typing your passphrase, and that's just how it is 😭
