Crypt is almost too easy, in just a few steps you'll be up and running.

For machines that DON'T have FileVault enabled.

  1. Download the latest release.
  2. Set the ServerURL Preference for your instance of Crypt-Server.
  3. Install the release for your macOS version.
  4. Restart the computer and login as the user you would like to enable encryption with.
  5. That's it! If you are on an APFS system FileVault should be encrypting. If not you'll be prompted to reboot for encryption to begin.

For machines with FileVault already Enabled.
