MyCryptFS

Wrap any folder in AES-256 encryption. Your cloud provider sees only ciphertext — and so does anyone who gets into your account, your backup, or your running machine. You hold the key.

Finder Native

Encrypted folders appear in the Finder sidebar as real volumes. No terminal, no mount scripts — open, edit, save like any other folder.

Free.
Forever.

No subscription. No account. No telemetry. Privacy is a right — access to its tools shouldn't depend on your wallet.

Your Cloud, Your Rules

Store encrypted folders inside any sync provider. Your cloud provider sees only opaque ciphertext.

iCloud Dropbox Google Drive Syncthing

Secure by Design

The app cannot phone home. Passwords live in the macOS Keychain for the session only.

Signed by Apple Sandboxed Keychain

gocryptfs‑powered

Built on a battle-tested, audited library. Volumes stay portable across Linux, Android, Windows — and iOS.

No Compromises

Multiple encrypted folders, each unlocked independently. Filenames are encrypted too — nothing to infer from the ciphertext.

Engineered in Germany

Built under some of the world's most demanding privacy standards. By someone who lives under them daily.

A Second Layer

FileVault encrypts your disk — but unlocks it when you log in. MyCryptFS vaults are independently locked. Sensitive folders stay encrypted even while you work, even if your account is compromised.

Per-folder keys Independent passphrase
Now on iOS

Take your encrypted folders mobile. MyCryptFS for iOS brings the same gocryptfs format to iPhone and iPad — browse and decrypt the same vaults you use on your Mac.
