SupportOnlyKey Apps and Software
OnlyKey Desktop App is used for setup and configuration of OnlyKey. Supported on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS (with Chrome App).
OnlyKey WebCrypt provides a way to securely use OnlyKey in the browser. The Webcrypt app loads everything necessary to encrypt messages and files directly in the local browser without the need to send messages or files over the Internet. Data between OnlyKey and the local browser is end-to-end encrypted. WebCrypt integrates with services like Keybase and Protonmail to provide OpenPGP encryption and key management everywhere on-the-go. Supports browsers Chrome, Chromium/Brave, and Firefox. Supports Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS.
OnlyKey Agent is a hardware-based SSH and GPG agent that allows offline cold storage of your SSH and OpenPGP keys. SSH is a popular remote access tool that is often used by administrators and with OnlyKey remote access can be passwordless by physically pressing OnlyKey button to log in. GPG (or GnuPG) is a versatile OpenPGP tool that provides encryption and signing. Instead of keeping keys on a computer, OnlyKey generates and securely stores your keys off of the computer and you can still easily use SSH and GPG.
