Is choosing an encryption algorithm suitable for everyday use?

Question

I plan to use this regularly rather than only for a one-time archive.

XChaCha20-Poly1305 and AES-256-GCM provide authenticated encryption. For most people, the app recommendation is the safest choice. Yes, provided that backup checks and clean shutdown are part of the routine.
