Sorry if this is yesterday's news to you all, but I just found out about this Android app that makes it easier - as in, less steps - to encrypt and send any message in a highlight-copy-paste fashion, with automatic integration in several e-mail front ends.

It still receives security updates and the repo is still maintained, but the app is no longer being actively developed to add new features. https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain

Boo! It's a tool I use every day, sad to hear it's no longer being developed.

I use OpenPGP in Termux for symmetric file encryption.

Same here. Just wanted to share my findings.

Oh, "good" to know it's abandoned 😬

It's more like it's finished. Why keep working on something that doesn't need any new features?

Well, the world changes. Software that's "finished", starts rotting, because it doesn't adapt to the changing environment.

Thankfully, it's open source and anybody with the appropriate skills can take up the mantle. 😊
