Show HN: 1LimX – Offline file encryption and information, password manager

I made a text, file encryption/decryption tool and an encrypted information, password management tool in one offline and cross-platform application for pc, mobile using ChaCha20Poly1305 cipher.

Because everything is happening entirely offline on your device, no signup required to use the app.

You can enjoy unlimited items, unlimited item custom fields, unlimited file, image attachments in items and more for free.

I would love to hear all the feedback/suggestions. Thanks!

How does it compare with countless other file encryption tools: GPG, Age, Picocrypt, etc?

Some of them can be password managers too, with a bash script (eg, Pass).

I think 1LimX has the advantages:

Cross-platform: its available on Microsoft Windows Store, iPhone, iPad, Mac Apple Store, Android Play Store, Linux Snapcraft Store and as standalone installers.

It's easy to setup and demo, tutorials are available in depth.

A more user-friendly interface, every process is made as simple as possible so user can understand with zero knowledge.

For example, if you wish to encrypt a text or file, all you’ll need to do is simply input the text and files.

Pre-made information template data to waste you no more time such as Credit Card, Address, Bank Account, Passport, Driver license,... not just password.

Also the encryption speed is fast and tested for large files. I have tested on an iPhone XS encryption took 3-4 minutes of an 10.6 GB file (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBxbJAR1DLk), on MacBook M1 Pro 14 inch encryption took 1m21s with the same file (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Irb3bQQv6Y).
