This looks really good, I've used ccrypt (#1) for years as a simple Unix-y encryption tool to avoid the complexity of GPG (though this is symmetric encryption only so you need to have a secure way to exchange keys).
I just added a pull-request to allow the recipients flag to also be specified as a https:// or file:// URL - this is mostly useful to use the GitHub <user>.keys endpoint to grab user keys eg.
./age -a -r https://github.com/<user>.keys < secret
will encrypt using <user>'s GitHub SSH public keys.
