At-rest encryption is not something that Signal Desktop is currently trying to provide or has ever claimed to provide. Full-disk encryption can be enabled at the OS level on most desktop platforms.

If someone has enough access to your system that they can get to your stored encryption keys, you have much bigger problems.
