GPG Tools switches to subscription after update

9 points by Randgalt 7 years ago · 3 comments · 1 min read


I got an update notice for the Apple Mail integrated GPG tools. After the update you get a modal dialog in Apple Mail telling you that you now need a subscription to continue using the product. This was poorly planned and people are complaining.

GPGTools tried this before. The backlash was substantial.

Bad title. Title should be "Apple Mail GPG Tools ..." because this concerns Apple Mail's tools, not GPG itself.

    It has nothing to do with Apple either. It's open-source extensions for doing GPG in Apple Mail. They were FOSS and now trying to move to O$$.
