SiriKali works on Linux, macOS and Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

SiriKali is a Qt/C++ GUI application that manages ecryptfs, cryfs, encfs, gocryptfs, fscrypt and securefs based encrypted folders. These projects are compared here. SiriKali can also connect to ssh servers using sshfs.

Users of Securefs and Cppcryptfs should inform SiriKali of where Securefs and Cppcryptfs binaries are located on the system by setting the path at: Menu->Settings->External Commands->Set Executables Search Path.

If you are using the portable version, then a better place to put external executables is in the “local/bin” subfolder of the portable application folder.
