AutoCrypt For Mac

There are lots of ways to encrypt and decrypt documents, whether for local security or remote transfers. However, if you need to run similar encryption/decryption jobs on a regular basis, it becomes important to have a quick and efficient way of getting it done.

That’s exactly what AutoCrypt can provide. It’s an app designed to facilitate batch encryption and decryption of files, along with automation of the whole process. It saves encryption settings to a document, which can be opened to instantly run an encryption or decryption operation.

To get started, open the app and load the files you wish to process. The default settings include a unique password which will be used for encryption. This key will be saved in the encryption document, allowing you to quickly decrypt the files later without having to remember the password. This feature can be disabled if you prefer.

Once you’ve configured everything, set the output location and process your files. The password and encryption settings can then be saved to a separate file, which you can open in the app for quick decryption or for repeating the job.

The features mentioned above already speed things up greatly, but you can go one step further if time is of the essence. The AutoRun feature enables you to encrypt or decrypt the loaded files automatically upon opening the settings document.

Assuming you have used all automation features, you can create an encryption document that will secure a set of frequently updated files, and another for quickly decrypting said files when needed, all by simply double-clicking the settings file.

Whatever the use case, if automating certain steps will save you a lot of time at the end of the day, AutoCrypt is an excellent app to use. It’s quite straightforward, with an intuitive UI, and it can reduce the process to just a couple of clicks.
