About the project
Encrypted overlay filesystem written in Go on top of FUSE, inspired by EncFS and fixing its security issues. It transparently encrypts directories on disk.
Useful for
- Encrypt a data directory and mount it as a regular folder via FUSE
- Set up reverse mode to encrypt data before uploading to cloud storage
- Decrypt files and filenames without FUSE using gocryptfs-inspect

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 04:49–06:17: 4652 → 4652 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +9 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 1 per day.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
