Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.
EncryptPad is an application for viewing and editing symmetrically encrypted text. Using a simple and convenient graphical and command line interface, EncryptPad provides a tool for encrypting and decrypting binary files on disk while offering effective measures for protecting information, and it uses the most widely chosen quality file format OpenPGP RFC 4880. Unlike other OpenPGP software which main purpose is asymmetric encryption, the primary focus of EncryptPad is symmetric encryption.
Features
Symmetric encryption
Passphrase protection
Key file protection
Combination of passphrase and key file
Random key file generator
Key repository in a hidden directory in the user's home folder
Path to a key file can be stored in an encrypted file. If enabled, you do not need to specify the key file every time you open files.
Encryption of binary files (images, videos, archives etc.)
Read only mode to prevent accidental file modification
UTF8 text encoding
Windows/Unix configurable line endings
Customisable passphrase generator helps create strong random passphrases.
File format compatible with OpenPGP
Iterated and salted S2K
Passphrases are not kept in the memory for reuse, only S2K results (more ...)
Good post, thanks. I'm a little confused why the author went with GPG for encryption but didn't include at least the option for public key encryption. A nice replacement for GPG4USB.
You acknowledge it's not stealth, but do you know if it's portable or not? You posted this under discussion so I'm not sure where this sits on the spectrum.
If in the feature an option to run EncryptPad in portable mode is implemented I may add it to the database, of course you may do it yourself if you'd like since you are the original reviewer of the program.

For me EncryptPad is not portable since its configuration file (encryptpad.ini) is saved in user profile folder:
Configuration file (encryptpad.ini) will be saved in encryptpad_repository sub-folder inside program folder;
Portable mode
EncryptPad checks the executable directory for a sub-directory called encryptpad_repository. If exists, it is used for key files and settings. The directory .encryptpad in the user's profile is then ignored. The EncryptPad executable and encryptpad_repository can both be copied to a removable media and used on multiple computers. It should be noted that keeping encrypted material with the key files on the same removable media is less secure. Separate them if possible.
Thanks to the developer - Evgeny Pokhilko for making it possible to use EncryptPad in portable mode!
As noted by rqqt, it doesn't support ascii-armored text, but that might change in the future. Regardless, this program is way ahead of so many other similar tools we have here on the site. I'll get it added to the database in the days ahead. Thanks smaragdus and lintalist.
