About This App

GPGTools is a complete GPG encryption suite for macOS that provides email encryption, file signing, and key management. It includes GPG Suite (the main GUI application), MacGPG (the underlying command-line GPG engine), and plugins for Mail.app that allow seamless encryption and decryption of email messages. It is widely used by professionals, journalists, activists and security-conscious individuals who need to send confidential communications and verify digital signatures. GPGTools bundles several open-source cryptographic libraries (GnuPG, GnuTLS, libgmp) into a user-friendly macOS package.

GPGTools shipped a native Apple Silicon build beginning with GPG Suite version 2021.1, released in 2021, so a native version has been available for several years. If your copy is still running under Rosetta, update to the latest version of GPG Suite from gpgtools.org — the installer will automatically replace all components including MacGPG with their native Apple Silicon builds. Be aware that some users on macOS Ventura and later have reported crashes in GPG key-server operations on Apple Silicon due to a libgmp library bug, which the developers have been actively addressing; if you encounter crashes with key lookup or sending, ensure you are on the very latest version, as newer builds include fixes for this issue. You can check your current version and component details from within GPG Suite's preferences or help menu.
