About This App

GPG Keychain Access is a graphical interface for managing OpenPGP encryption keys on macOS. Part of the GPG Suite, it allows users to generate, import, export and organize GPG keys, manage key trust and expiration, and interact with the underlying GnuPG command-line tools. It is widely used by developers, security professionals, privacy advocates and anyone who relies on PGP/GPG for email encryption, file signing or secure communication. The app integrates with Mail.app for encrypted email workflows.

GPG Suite has shipped a native Apple Silicon build since version 2021.1, released in early 2021, so the latest version of GPG Keychain Access runs natively on M-series Macs. Anyone still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta will see better performance and battery life after updating. The simplest path is to visit gpgtools.org, download the current GPG Suite installer for macOS, and run it — the installer automatically detects your Mac's architecture and installs the native build. Alternatively, if GPG Suite is set to check for updates automatically, you can open GPG Keychain Access and go to GPG Keychain Access → Check for Updates (or similar) to trigger the upgrade directly. If you have a very old installation, note that GPG Suite 2021.1 or later is required to get the native build; anything from 2020.2 or earlier will still be Intel-only and should be reinstalled from scratch rather than upgraded in place.
