VaptVupt GUI — Cross-Platform Post-Quantum Backup
Desktop application for vaptvupt backup compression with ML-KEM-768 + X25519 post-quantum hybrid encryption.
Works on GNU/Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.
Install
Linux (recommended)
tar xzf vaptvupt-gui.tar.gz && cd vaptvupt-gui
./vaptvupt-gui # auto-creates venv, installs PySide6
./install.sh --user # adds right-click menu integration
After install, right-click any file in Nemo/Nautilus to see "Compress with VaptVupt". Double-click any .zupt file to open it in the GUI.
Windows
Option A — Installer (recommended):
Download VaptVuptGUI-1.3.0-Setup.exe and run it. Installs to Program Files, adds Start Menu shortcut, desktop shortcut, right-click context menus, and .zupt file association. Includes uninstaller.
Option B — Build from source:
cd packaging\windows
build-windows.bat
Requires Python 3.9+, NSIS 3.x, and a compiled vaptvupt.exe.
Option C — Run directly:
pip install PySide6
python src\zupt_gui.py
macOS / BSD
pip3 install PySide6
python3 src/zupt_gui.py
AppImage (universal Linux)
chmod +x VaptVupt-GUI-1.3.0-x86_64.AppImage
./VaptVupt-GUI-1.3.0-x86_64.AppImage
Flatpak
flatpak-builder --install build packaging/flatpak/dev.zupt.gui.yml
flatpak run dev.zupt.gui
Features
