## What is OnlyTxt?

OnlyTxt is a text-only private chat for iPhone and iPad. No photos. No voice. No files. Just encrypted text that disappears after it is read.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• End-to-end encryption (Curve25519 + AES-GCM) on your device
• Messages self-destruct shortly after being read
• Screenshot protection on chats and QR codes
• No permanent cloud inbox — the server only relays encrypted payloads

ADD CONTACTS WITH QR
Scan a QR code to connect. No phone number, email, or account signup required.

TEXT ONLY
A minimal messenger built for words, not media.

FREE & PREMIUM
• Free: up to 2 contacts
• Premium: unlimited contacts (annual subscription)

Perfect for brief, sensitive conversations where you want encryption and automatic deletion — without the complexity of a full messenger.
