Use Cipher to send secret messages to your friends and family!

Simply enter the message you’d like to send securely, select Encrypt and Cipher will use the generated key to scramble your message!

### 1/5 — Custom keys

*2022-05-08*

This app does not offer enough features to back up its price. I would like to see the Keys & Cypher style be customisable. I downloaded the app because I believed the keys to be a customizable.
