A question about kryptKey - why Signal protocol instead of just letting me import a PGP key and paste plain text in and use PGP for encryption and get ciphertext oit, like Kleopatra or GPG? I use that for DNMs and it’s swell.

KryptKey is much easier than Kleopatra. It works as a keyboard and encrypts and decrypts on the fly. It’s a powerful local too that’s very usable. Kleopatra is great for people who can learn the OPSEC but it may not be great for have a quick back and forth text message discussion.

  PGP also has a more identifiable structure and they could ban PGP and then scan for it easily based on PGP headers. KryptKey is more censorship resistant because the outputs can’t be scanned for as easily since data can be encrypted with normal words.
  
  That answers my question as to why KryptKey wasn’t just encrypting using PGP.
  
  Still, I’d very much like an app similar to KryptKey that uses PGP encryption, or an app I can copy-paste plaintext into and get PGP ciphertext out of like Kleopatra, do you know of any?
