About

winage is a Windows GUI for the age file encryption format, built on rage, the Rust implementation of age.

Right-click a file and select "Encrypt with age" to encrypt it to a passphrase, a recipient's public key, a recipients file, or an identity file. Double-click a .age file to decrypt it. Right-click the background of an Explorer window to generate a new age identity.

SSH keys can be used in place of age identities and recipients, age plugins such as age-plugin-yubikey work for both, and identity files encrypted to a passphrase are supported.

No known CVEs for winage.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
