Seahorse

Seahorse is an open-source app that gives you a friendly and modern way to manage your passwords and keys. Think of it as a cool graphical user interface (GUI) for the GNOME Keyring command-line tool, perfect for anyone using the GNOME desktop environment.

Manage Your Keys Easily

This handy application lets you manage your PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) and OpenSSH keys right from your computer. It connects with the GNOME Keyring software, which captures passwords from various applications. So, whether you're logging into your favorite websites or specific apps like a Twitter client, Seahorse has got your back!

Handle Your Passwords and Certificates

Seahorse isn't just about keys; it can also take care of normal passwords and system certificates. It's built on two major projects—GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) and GPGME (GnuPG Made Easy)—to keep everything secure.

User-Friendly Interface

If you’re worried about complicated setups, don’t be! Seahorse integrates smoothly with other GNOME applications like Nautilus (Files) or Gedit. The user interface is simple and clean, making encryption and decryption feel like a breeze. For those who want more features, there’s a plugins package available too!

Create & Import Keys with Ease

You can create new PGP keys or import existing ones without breaking a sweat. Plus, finding remote keys, publishing them to key servers, managing SSH or OpenSSH keys—it's all super straightforward! And let’s not forget about backing up your keys so they’re always safe.

Simplified User Experience

The application's name might be a bit confusing since it shows up as Passwords and Keys in the GNOME environment. But once you dive in, you'll see that its layout is user-friendly! You have a spacious area to view encrypted items like passphrases and certificates along with an easy-to-navigate sidebar for selecting what to see.

Quick Add Functionality

You’ll also find a handy search feature right at the top of the item view area. Plus, there's a big plus button that lets you quickly add anything from password keyrings to private SSH keys!

Your Go-To GUI for Password Management

All in all, Seahorse provides an excellent GUI front-end for managing passwords and keys through the GNOME Keyring program. While it's mainly designed for the GNOME desktop environment, it can easily adapt to other open-source window managers too.
