Encryption - with pgptools, macOS

I really have a problem with the fact that, for technical reasons, capacities cannot be used with end-to-end encryption, though I can understand the technical reasons.

Since it’s common in my world to encrypt sensitive data, I’d like to ask whether it would be possible to integrate the system-wide services into the context menu within capacities.app for macOS. Then encryption via a mouse click would be possible using pgptools.

Thanks for sharing this idea. Capacities does not support end-to-end encryption, but partial encryption of specific content areas is something we are exploring conceptually: https://docs.capacities.io/more/end-to-end-encryption. Integrating macOS system services (like pgptools) into the context menu is not documented as supported today, so this would be a new feature request.
