What it does
DotBGE encrypts files on-device with no accounts and no servers. Use the iPhone/iPad app to encrypt, decrypt, preview, and sharebge files; use the bge CLI on macOS/Linux for scripts and terminal workflows; or let Claude Code, ChatGPT, and other shell-running agents handlebge files through the bundled skill. Built on the openbge format with identity-based RSA encryption and password mode.
DotBGE — encrypt your files on-device with RSA-4096 and AES-256-GCM. Identity sharing, a biometric vault, password mode. No accounts, no servers. Built on the open .bge format.
DotBGE encrypts your files with RSA-4096 and AES-256-GCM , right on your device. No accounts, no servers, no cloud middleman — and it's built on an open format, so your files outlive the app. Someone sent you an encrypted .bge file? Decrypting and previewing are always free — no purchase needed. Install DotBGE, authenticate, and open it. Every feature runs locally. There is no dashboard to log into and no key to upload — the app simply works with the keys on your device. Encrypt a file so that exactly one person can open it. Exchange identities with a QR code — no key servers, no email attachments of public keys, no trust-on-first-use guesswork. A private store for sensitive files, sealed…from dotbge.app

Local Privacy Firewall-blocks PII and secrets before ChatGPT sees themDec 2025 · github.com · ▲111OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection…

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
