User Reviews

OpenKeychain is widely praised for easy, beginner-friendly OpenPGP features, reliable performance, and ad-free use, with strong key management that pairs well with Thunderbird and FairEmail. It’s privacy-focused and open-source. However, several reviews cite stalled maintenance, an aging UI with confusing UX, and gaps in interoperability (signing/signature checks, key import, Outlook compatibility). Occasional cryptographic errors are also reported. Overall it’s a solid privacy tool, but users want active development and a modern, more intuitive interface.

Pros

Easy to use and learn, including for elderly users
Stable and reliable performance; it just works over years
Strong key management and OpenPGP capabilities (encrypt/decrypt) with good integration with email apps like Thunderbird and FairEmail
Ad-free and free to use
Privacy-focused and open-source approach that supports privacy-centric workflows

Cons

Maintenance and updates appear stalled or uncertain (not actively maintained)
Outdated UI with confusing UX and some hidden controls (e.g., encrypt button)
Interoperability and feature gaps (signing/signature checks, key import limitations, Outlook compatibility)
Occasional bugs/errors (OpenPGP exceptions, initialization failures)

Recent reviews

It's really secure and easy-to-use, just the fact that it has clipboard issues doesn't matter for me. But overall, good app.

it won't allow me to add new keys anymore, or decrypt from my clipboard, there is something wrong with the import from clipboard button, had to find found another way to encrypt after using this maybe like 10 times
