About:
rage is a CLI tool that encrypts files using modern, secure cryptography. It is designed as a simple, easy-to-use alternative to GPG, supporting both password-based encryption and public-key encryption. Its streamlined interface and small codebase reduce the attack surface and eliminate common configuration pitfalls.
Key Features:
  • Modern cryptography (ChaCha20-Poly1305, X25519)
  • Simple CLI interface (no config needed)
  • Password and public-key encryption
  • Age-compatible format
Use Cases:
  • Encrypting secrets for version control
  • Securely backing up sensitive files
  • Automated server-side encryption tasks
Alternatives:
  • gpg – More complex and feature-rich, but harder to use correctly.
