About:
GPG Suite Pinentry is a graphical passphrase dialog used by GPG Suite to securely request passphrases for key operations. It replaces the standard terminal-based pinentry with a native macOS interface, providing a seamless user experience when encrypting, decrypting, or signing files.
Key Features:
  • Native macOS GUI for passphrase entry
  • Securely integrates with GPG Suite and GnuPG
  • Touch ID support for unlocking keys
  • Modern, accessible interface
Use Cases:
  • Unlocking GPG keys for email encryption with Apple Mail
  • Decrypting and signing files via the command line with a GUI prompt
Alternatives:
  • pinentry-mac – Standalone GUI pinentry; GPG Suite Pinentry is the integrated version bundled with the full GPG Suite.
  • pinentry-tty – Terminal-based passphrase entry; lacks GUI convenience and Touch ID support.
