What is Criptio?

Criptio is an open-source interactive Command Line Tool based on Node.js for encrypt and decrypt any kind of file. You can install it with npm packager npm install -g criptio. It's quite simple, have a look.

Privacy is very important nowadays. Mozilla talks about privacy tips in the article 7 Encryption and Privacy Tips (which I recommend reading), and first tip says

Take steps to encrypt your communications. Encryption is the encoding of data so that only people with a special key can unlock it. Most modern communications systems use strong encryption. iMessage, Signal, and WhatsApp all provide encrypted text messaging. Facetime, Signal, Firefox Hello, and Google Hangouts all provide encrypted video conferencing. E-mail, ordinary phone calls, and SMS do not provide strong security.

This is a very valid point, we need to be more aware of our privacy, because even though we take privacy embedded in our modern tools, this is not always the case. I am certain you've sent an email that contains private data (images, text document etc.), and really who hasn't? Bu have you ever thought about if someone were to get temporary access to your email account? Someone would could actually access and view your private documents with no difficulty at all.
Criptio is here to help you to prevent this, in the simplest way possible.
