Dropbox-like Encryption Folder for Mac (request for HN beta-testers)
Encryption Folder is an experimental application I've hacked together that works as a Dropbox-for-file-encryption of sorts. When you start the application it creates a special folder on your Desktop that encrypts any files dragged into it. Drag files back out onto the desktop and they should decrypt automatically. Close the application and the folder disappears until the application is started again.

I wrote this out of a personal need to store business information on my laptop but avoid having all of my bank accounts easily compromised in the event my laptop was stolen. I've got a lot from this community over the past five years, so am posting here as I'm interested in cleaning this up for a wider public release and would appreciate any thoughts or feedback on what is essentially an MVP.
So please -- if you have a Mac and are looking for an easy drag-and-drop utility for protecting important documents try it out and let me know what you think. I've tested this on a few machines but it is beta software, so please test on your machine before committing anything unrecoverable to it.
Feedback is welcome by email at service@encryptionfolder.com and of course we can have a discussion here. And thanks. :)
