halig

(R)age encrypted note-taking CLI app.

halig opens, using your favorite $EDITOR, an in-memory copy of a file and upon save-and-exit, it encrypts the new contents into an age file that you can store, relatively safe, anywhere.

Features

• Simple notebooks management with paths autocompletion
• Passphrase-less, fully-encrypted notes, compatible with existing SSH keys
• No external age binary needed
• Almost all age advantages, like having multiple keys for encryption and decryption
• Remote (HTTP) public keys import: e.g: github.com/<username>.keys

Install

pipx install halig # or pip
