  • age

    A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.

  • Looking at the repo[1] seems to use ssh keys, both rsa and ec. You could use age to send over your symmetric key for later aes encrypted files. [1]https://github.com/FiloSottile/age

  • fd

    A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'

  • Or use find or fd to encrypt them individually.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
