Open Source Linux Text Editors

sops is an editor of encrypted files that supports YAML, JSON, ENV, INI and BINARY formats and encrypts with AWS KMS, GCP KMS, Azure Key Vault, age, and PGP. For the adventurous, unstable features are available in the develop branch, which you can install from source. To use sops as a library, take a look at the decrypt package. We rewrote Sops in Go to solve a number of deployment issues, but the Python branch still exists under python-sops. We will keep maintaining it for a while, and you can still pip install sops, but we strongly recommend you use the Go version instead. If you're using AWS KMS, create one or multiple master keys in the IAM console and export them, comma separated, in the SOPS_KMS_ARN env variable. It is recommended to use at least two master keys in different regions. If you want to use PGP, export the fingerprints of the public keys, comma separated, in the SOPS_PGP_FP env variable.

UPDATE 2024: Get a new version here: https://github.com/ivoras/EncryptedNotepad2 "Encrypted Notepad" does only one thing, but aims to do it perfectly - a Notepad-like simple text editor where files are saved (and later loaded) encrypted with industrial strength algorithms. Available both for the desktop (as a Java application) and on Android. Unencrypted data is never stored on-disk. Source is released (on SourceForge) under the BSD license.

AESTextCrypt is an easy-to-use open source tool for text encryption and decryption. Primarily intended for use with email, use it wherever you need to protect text from prying eyes. The encrypted text can be copy/pasted into any text-handling application (e.g. email) instead of plain text. Convenience buttons are provided for clipboard operations. AESTextCrypt uses AES-256 bit encryption which is the strongest available encryption scheme. It also employs bcrypt, which implements key-stretching and an adaptive key setup phase, the complexity (number of rounds) of which is automatically set to match the processing power of the encrypting computer. This makes it highly resistant to dictionary attack. AESTextCrypt is written in Java, so can be run on all desktop platforms - Windows, Mac and Linux.

An alternative to the string library for C and C++ which is more functional and does not have buffer overflow problems.

Mailcrypt is an Emacs Lisp package which provides a simple interface to public key cryptography with PGP [and now GnuPG!]. Mailcrypt makes strong cryptography a fully integrated part of your normal mail and news handling environment

Generate RSA key pairs of arbitrary length; convert text between formats or use keys to transform/crypt text. Supports decimal, hexadecimal, base64 and text input and output. Entirely ANSI C++; no external dependencies.

The Arcanum Editor is a small but powerful tool to encrypt and decrypt messages. The program also comes with it's own format CTXT. This format is based on XML and allows you to save texts with the Advanced Encryption Standard.

PCSecrets is a PC application that holds secret text data - protected by a master password and strong encryption. Use it as a password manager or just somewhere to hold any text data securely in one place. It can hold a second, hidden set of secrets that is undetectable and plausibly deniable. The program is also a PC counterpart of the Secrets for Android app. It uses the same data structure and provides synchronization that allows easy transfer of secrets between the two. For those who find the personal computer environment more comfortable for data entry and editing (i.e. a real keyboard), PCSecrets provides an alternative way to manage your secrets. Sync is also effectively a form of backup. To enable the sync feature with Secrets for Android, you need to install the PCSecrets Sync app, downloadable from SourceForge or Google Play. PCSecrets import plus PCSecrets Sync provides a route to importing secret data into Secrets for Android that would not otherwise be possible.

TextConverter is a graphical text editor allowing the user to encrypt/decrypt the textual contents displayed on the screen using a 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cipher.

This is free Java desktop application to keep your note in safe from others using the Encrypting Decrypting symmetric key algorithm, it's easy to transfer your note form source to another in confidential manner.

Imagine being able to send an encrypted message as a single file to someone working on any Operating System, without them having to install any software to decrypt it. Just send them an Inkjar. Or you can store your own passwords on a usb key anywhere.

From the creator of ClipClear comes JClipClear, a Java version of the Clipboard displayer and clearer. This program works on almost all OSes that have a clipboard feature.

JDS is a powerful tool for data protection. Documents are encrypted using a special algorithm. The data encryption algorithm is constantly updated to improve security. The program also provides other functions. Such as sending a file to a vault with password access, fast text encryption in 3 types, and much more. The program is easy to use and does not require special knowledge. The standard version has 2 languages (Russian and English) and 9 themes. You can download the language and theme pack separately.

A Secure Diary Program written in Java and using the bouncycastle JCE Cryptograpic library. It uses a combination of BlowFish and TripleDES (XORed) to encrypt Diary entries.

It is a simple password manager for your PC and Smartphone. It works like a text editor and uses a strong cryptography algorithm to generate the end file.

This is a diary that allows you to digitally write entries and view them. What makes this a masterpiece from its counterparts is how user data is created and abstracted. User data is protected and stored in PNG images, the image it self is not encrypted but the data inside the image is encrypted. If you open any one of the created PNG images, they look like blank images!. These "normal" looking images protect your information from prying eyes. The simplicity and elegance of my program stores your data(password and entry) locally and hidden from everyone.

P.I.G.: Privacy In Gedit, a plugin for gedit, encode and decode text to base64.

Application scans a given textual string in 146 pen on paper possible combinations- horizontal, vertical, diagonal, reverse, join top, join bottom, groups(2/3/4..), edges & in quadrant dimensions of your choice

RemoteEdit is a cross-platform graphical FTP and SFTP client for remotely editing text files with a user-specified text editor.

Un programa para cambiar el orden de las palabras en una frase o las letras de una palabra u otros algoritmos. Su principal objetivo es cambiar las frases para hacerlas mas ilegibles o para aparentar ser más friki en tus conversaciones o por diversi

Line command cleaner/converter files.

SystemSpecifyer is used to develop and maintain complex, well structured, systems specifications, in normal language. Using the System Matrix double matrix relation building mechanism specs can be tested for completeness, correctness and consistency.

This program is a replica of SafeSex by Nullsoft. Written from scratch on the .NET Framework 3.5. It allows you to keep useful notes in a safe manner, as it allows for encryption using the world renowned AES encryption algorithm.

Twinkle is an open source text editor that saves the documents in an encrypted form.

jCryptPad stores text informationen hierarchical, e.g. passwords, important texts etc. The data is saved in a encrypted xml file. Encryption is done with the AES algorithm. Additionally a password generator and a text encryption editor is also included.
