    Hi HN, I made Keepr, a simple offline CLI password manager for developers who prefer keeping secrets local and working entirely in the terminal. Everything is stored in an encrypted SQLCipher database, protected by a master password. A time-limited session keeps the vault unlocked while you work, so you don’t need to re-enter the password constantly. Keepr never touches the network. It includes commands to add, view, search, update, and delete entries, plus a secure password generator and clipboard support.

    Enc is a CLI tool for encryption, a modern and friendly alternative to GnuPG. It is easy to use, secure by default and can encrypt and decrypt files using password or encryption keys, manage and download keys, and sign data. Our goal was to make encryption available to all engineers without the need to learn a lot of new words, concepts, and commands. It is the most beginner-friendly CLI tool for encryption, and keeping it that way is our top priority.
