Looks very similar to the 'Crypt' remote offered by Rclone[0]

I use it to store 'per file' encrypted data on Dropbox. (I also keep a restic repository on there)

I have used rclone with crypt in the past, and it works well, but doesn't easily lend itself to being used from mobile devices, which is what led me to Cryptomator in the first place.

I don't want to rely on having a server running at home, which i can then connect to via VPN, in order to download encrypted stuff from the cloud. With Cryptomator i can simply download from the cloud and decrypt locally.

Round-Sync for Android [0] is an app wrapper for rclone. I use that to upload my photos via plain SSH.

Rclone doesn't work too well on mobile though, which is where cryptomator is really nice.

RCX on android[0] gives a reasonable experience for pecking at files (Also handles media streaming reasonably well and supports the Crypt remote mentioned in the sibling comment)
