PGPRescue

PGPRescue is a desktop + web companion that helps people actually use PGP email without getting stuck on the usual failure points: wrong keys, expired subkeys, missing public keys, MIME/attachment breakage, and confusing client settings. It runs a local “mail lab” that can ingest a problematic message (.eml), analyze what went wrong, and generate step-by-step, client-specific fixes (Gmail+PGP plugins, Thunderbird, Outlook add-ins, Apple Mail workflows). It also includes a safe key hygiene toolkit: key discovery checks, expiration reminders, subkey rotation guidance, and a pre-send validation that warns you before you encrypt to the wrong key or sign with an invalid one. This is not another PGP client; it’s a troubleshooting and guardrail layer that integrates with what users already have. It’s realistic because most PGP failures are operational, not cryptographic.
