What is DotBGE?

DotBGE is a local-first encryption utility designed to secure files directly on the user’s device. By eliminating the need for cloud-based key management or intermediary servers, it ensures that your data remains under your absolute control regardless of where it is stored.

Why Founders Need It

Data privacy is no longer a luxury but a fundamental product requirement. Whether you are handling proprietary intellectual property, sensitive customer PII, or internal roadmaps, relying on third-party cloud encryption introduces unnecessary risk. DotBGE provides a developer-friendly interface to implement ‘zero-trust’ security from the ground up.

How to Use It

  • For iOS: Use the mobile client to encrypt sensitive documents on the go.
  • For Developers: Utilize the CLI to pipe encrypted files into automated pipelines or backups.
  • For Agents: Integrate DotBGE into autonomous workflows to ensure AI-processed data remains encrypted at rest.

Alternatives

  • Cryptomator: Best for cloud-storage integration, whereas DotBGE leans into CLI/agent workflows.
  • VeraCrypt: More robust for full disk encryption but significantly higher learning curve.
