Depending on the application could you just mount a filesystem that supports encryption? Even if it’s just mounting a .tar file.

Also, DuckDB devs said it was planned: https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/discussions/4512
SQLCipher fits that bill. I had some issues with language integration but depending on what you're using it might work for you.
The application encrypts the data, you save in the database the data encrypted. When you retrieve the info, the app decrypt it.
Well, sqlite

Encryption is usually implemented in the server or client code. Why do you want the database to handle encryption?
It is for as desktop app that stores data on a user drive.
Then the application should encrypt the data saved to the db.
I can't think of any scenario where it would make sense for the db to handle encryption.
