Kryptor: A simple, modern, and secure encryption tool.
I'm using libsodium-core, which is a fork of libsodium-net. I'm not using Nsec because it doesn't have things like XChaCha20 exposed.

Kryptor: A simple, modern, and secure encryption tool.
I see what you mean; https://github.com/samuel-lucas6/ChaCha20-BLAKE2b would be considered borderline rolling your own. Especially when compared to https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/commit/2194f6962c8bb3bca8a55f313d5b9302596b593b as one solution or mitigation to the attack, and considering that it does not seem to a big problem for key based encryption (judging by the comments in that commit).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing libsodium-core and ChaCha20-BLAKE2b you can also consider the following projects:
age - A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.
Kryptor - A simple, modern, and secure encryption and signing tool that aims to be a better version of age and Minisign.
orion - Usable, easy and safe pure-Rust crypto
