Felony is an open-source PGP keychain desktop app built with Electron, React, and Redux, designed to make PGP encryption approachable for non-technical users. It lets users manage public keys in a 'buddies' list and encrypt messages that can be pasted and sent anywhere, such as social media or messaging apps.

Use cases

• encrypt messages with pgp without learning command-line tools
• manage a keychain of friends' public keys
• send encrypted messages over twitter dms or facebook messenger
• share sensitive info like addresses securely with a recipient
• generate and use pgp keys in a simple gui

When to choose

• you want a beginner-friendly graphical PGP client
• you need to exchange encrypted messages through any chat platform
• you prefer an open-source, MIT-licensed encryption app

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software with recent security updates
• you require enterprise-grade key management or hardware token support
• you need a CLI or programmatic PGP library
