I built a desktop app for encrypting and decrypting files or directories using AES-GCM, with support for AES hardware instructions for better performance. It has a easy/straightforward GUI.

The motivation was lack of free/open source desktop tools offering both GCM mode and hardware acceleration out of the box.

Would love feedback and suggestions for features and what you’d want in a desktop encryption tool.
