encra (CLI)

The developer CLI for Encra — Signal-grade end-to-end encryption for any app. Scaffold a project, generate keys, and verify connectivity in seconds.

Usage

No install needed — run it with npx:

npx encra init      # Detect your framework, write .env.example + a starter component
npx encra keygen    # Generate an X25519 key pair + safety-number fingerprint
npx encra ping      # Verify the server is reachable and your API key is valid

Or install globally:

npm install -g encra
encra init

Commands
