About GPG Suite

GPG Suite brings OpenPGP to macOS. It lets you encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify files and messages, and its GPG Keychain app manages your keys with a few clicks. It also includes GPG Mail, an extension for Apple Mail that is enabled from Mail's settings.

GPG Mail 8 for macOS Golden Gate is in beta, with some features still missing while the developers work with Apple. GPG Mail requires a support plan, which becomes a yearly subscription from version 8, with a 30-day trial.
