About:
A desktop application that simplifies the distribution and management of GPG public keys across organizations. It allows administrators to publish a key list to a server and enables users to automatically sync and verify those keys locally. Its main value is providing a secure, centralized, and user-friendly alternative to manual key distribution for teams using GPG for email encryption.

Key Features:

Centralized key distribution from a trusted server
Automatic key synchronization and verification for end-users
User-friendly GUI that simplifies GPG key management
Designed for organizational use with administrator controls

Use Cases:

Organizations needing to distribute internal PGP/GPG public keys to all members securely
Teams using encrypted email (e.g., with Thunderbird + Enigmail) who want to simplify key exchange

Alternatives:

Web Key Directory (WKD) – A standard protocol for key discovery via HTTPS, more decentralized but less user-friendly for non-technical teams
Keyserver pools (SKS, keys.openpgp.org) – Public, global key servers for general use, lacking the centralized organizational control and verification of GPG Sync
