Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 3.99 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Nick Haghiri" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Mage is an Android GUI for age file encryption, built on kage (a Kotlin/JVM implementation of the age protocol). "Mage" is short for Mobile age. Mage is not officially affiliated with or endorsed by the age project.

Encrypt or decrypt files to age recipients or passphrases, including armor, multi-recipient, and encrypt-to-self. SSH keys (ssh-ed25519, ssh-rsa) work as recipients and identities alongside native age keys, and can be mixed on one file.

Identities are sealed in the Android Keystore (AES-256-GCM, StrongBox where available) behind biometric or device-credential authentication. Recipients get a small address book with QR encode/scan for sharing a public key.

Batch mode encrypts or decrypts more than one file at a time into a folder. Your identity vault can be exported and re-imported as an encrypted backup, so it isn't stuck on one device.

Mage hooks into the system where it makes sense: share-sheet targets, a .age file-manager association, launcher shortcuts, and a Quick Settings tile.

Mage does not implement its own cryptography — that is kage's job. It is not a general-purpose file manager or password manager, and it does not support the age-plugin mechanism, which relies on binaries on $PATH and does not work on Android.

Mage requests no network permission and makes no network connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mage free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Mage require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Mage safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Nick Haghiri. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Mage?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
