Scott or Tug will probably suggest timing.
I've still some work to do to test different procedures work properly across
different
platforms. I've discovered it's necessary to check all the possibilities and
directions
i.e., A encrypted on p1, decrypted on p2, p1, p3
B encrypted on p2, etc. etc.
Takes time.

I run my own password locker, as I believe Clive Barrow got it right

Yeah, my passwords was one of the first things I tried migrating. I've
been very happy with keepass. Its file based instead of relying on a
server, so as long as you have a way to sync your password DB between
devices you can access it anywhere. I use nextcloud to sync it now.
Before I used syncthing. You could use scp[1] even. The vault can be
encrypted with a password, biometric device, or hardware key like
yubikey. It can also hold more than just passwords, including things
like payment information, totp codes, and more.
So I've been interested in -- and
testing because they often fail to work properly -- encryption tools.
Unfortunately
ccrypt doesn't have a reasonable Android tool. 7z, with some care
seems OK, but I've
more testing to do. Also to ensure plaintext files are purged. I find
Androids vary
in how they operate, and I am always concerned that data is left
around.
I'm not as familiar with encryption tools, I do have openkeychain
installed on my phone to use for PGP encryption in K9Mail. You can also
use it to encrypt/decrypt files as far as I know. Although there was
that recent disclosures about security issues and PGP. I'm not
knowledgeable enough about that to comment on it though.
Presentation?
Sure I can present about my experience trying FOSS apps that don't
depend on google services if people are interested in it.
