Zupt GUI — Cross-Platform Post-Quantum Backup
Desktop application for zupt backup compression with ML-KEM-768 + X25519 post-quantum hybrid encryption.
Works on GNU/Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.
Install
Linux (recommended)
tar xzf zupt-gui.tar.gz && cd zupt-gui
./zupt-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 Zupt". Double-click any .zupt file to open it in the GUI.
Windows
Option A — Installer (recommended):

Option B — Build from source:
cd packaging\windows
build-windows.bat
Requires Python 3.9+, NSIS 3.x, and a compiled zupt.exe.
Option C — Run directly:

python src\zupt_gui.py
macOS / BSD
pip3 install PySide6
python3 src/zupt_gui.py
