  • 🌐 Web version — runs in any modern browser, nothing to install: https://picocrypt-ng.github.io/
  • Android — universal APK (any device, larger): Download
  • Windows 7/8 (legacy) CLI (x86-64): Download
  • macOS builds are Apple Silicon (ARM64) only. What's new in 2.18
  • Desktop GUI: fixed the Linux desktop layout and output theming so the compact window keeps controls/results readable and visually consistent
  • Windows installer: upgrades now replace the installed GUI executable in place, detect a running Picocrypt NG instance instead of silently leaving the old binary, and clean up the orphaned portable executable left by the previous upgrade path
  • Android/F-Droid readiness: Android release tasks can now assemble unsigned release APKs for F-Droid source builds while GitHub release CI still requires the maintainer signing secrets for official upstream APKs
  • Android reproducibility: gomobile AAR builds now use stable empty Go build IDs and stripped native debug metadata for libgojni.so, removing the build-id metadata drift that blocked F-Droid reproducible APK comparison
  • Security maintenance: updated golang.org/x/image to v0.43.0 to include the TIFF decoder vulnerability fixes reported by govulncheck
  • Package availability: the README now documents the third-party MacPorts port while keeping project-owned release channels distinct Full changelog: https://github.com/Picocrypt-NG/Picocrypt-NG/blob/main/Changelog.md#v218 Verifying your download Every artifact is signed with keyless cosign (a .sigstore.json bundle ships next to it) and carries a GitHub build-provenance attestation. No keys to trust — the signature is bound to the exact GitHub Actions run that built the file. Build provenance (easiest, needs the gh CLI): gh attestation verify --repo Picocrypt-NG/Picocrypt-NG Cosign bundle (download the matching .sigstore.json too): cosign verify-blob
    --bundle .sigstore.json
