## What is PGP Everywhere?

PGP Everywhere is the most flexible PGP solution for iOS. Our keyboard and action extension let you encrypt your messages and files in any app.

FEATURES:
• Encrypt/decrypt files anywhere with our action extension
• Decrypt PGP emails & attachments in your favorite email app
• Encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify anywhere with our keyboard extension
• Generate RSA Key Pairs
• Interact with key servers
• Sign public keys
• Face ID & Touch ID
• Multiple languages & keyboard layouts
• Import/Export keys securely via USB with iTunes File Sharing
• Built on top of an open source, independently audited implementation of the OpenPGP standard

PGP Everywhere is a PGP Keychain Manager with two app extensions:
1. Our keyboard extension allows you to encrypt, decrypt, sign, and verify messages anywhere that you input text.
2. Our action extension allows you to encrypt, decrypt, sign, and verify files in any app.

PGP Everywhere replaces stand-alone PGP Mail apps that have limited features and stand-alone encrypted messaging apps that have limited user bases and instead allows you to use PGP encryption with all the apps you already love.

*** KEYBOARD EXTENSION ***
Encrypt within any app

*** FACE ID for PASSPHRASE*** 
PGP Everywhere emphasizes ease of use and convenience. The option to use Touch ID instead of entering your passphrase allows you to encrypt and decrypt in places where it would be too inconvenient and cumbersome otherwise, like texting or instant messaging. 

*** GENERATE KEYS *** 
PGP Everywhere offers the ability to generate new key pairs

*** SECURELY IMPORT KEYS ***
In addition to importing keys vie copy/paste, PGP Everywhere allows you to securely import your existing private key via iTunes File Sharing

*** MULTIPLE LANGUAGES ***
App Supports:
-English
-German
-Russian

Keyboard Supports:
-English
-German
-Russian
-Spanish
-French
-Italian
-Dutch
-Portuguese


This app utilizes open source implementations of OpenPGP.

### 5/5 — Feature requests

*2026-06-21, version 4.3.1*

Why no updated any more? There is a suggestion about adding support of ed22519 algorithm.

### 5/5 — Good 👍

*2026-05-24, version 4.3.1*

Have been using this app for many years, and it just works as described.

### 4/5 — Pgp überall

*2026-01-27, version 4.3.1*

macht was es soll , tolle app

### 3/5 — Bugs?

*2025-11-02, version 4.3.1*

UPDATE: November 2025
————————-
Had to install onto a new phone. Unable to download key-pairs from any of the servers, and mostly causing the app the crash and close.
Generated a new key-pair, but failed to upload to key server.

Have been using this app for ~6 years, and these are the first bugs I’ve encountered.

### 1/5 — Keyboard doesn’t work

*2025-10-10*

The option to decrypt or encrypt from the keyboard in “any app” doesn’t work on iOS 26 at all. Doesn’t even show up.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with ECC keys

*2025-09-14, version 4.3.1*

Just wasted $5 on an app that doesn't work. It is useless to me because it cannot import ECC keys generated by Open keychain on Android.

### 2/5 — Great but outdated. No modern keys supported

*2025-09-12, version 4.3.1*

Great app, but very limited keys support. Needs to be updated for modern keys. Wish I knew before buying. Developer has been unresponsive.

### 1/5 — Private key

*2025-07-22*

It seems that you can import a public key but it will not allow a private key unless there is a glitch in the app?

### 5/5 — Download with confidence 👍

*2025-06-25, version 4.3.1*

UPDATE : June 2025

••••••••••••••••••••

 Still using this app to secure my passwords and other sensitive data.

December 2019 

•••••••••••••••••••• 

I’ve been using this for a couple of years now and it’s never let me down 👍

Do you leave your house with the door unlocked?

Allow anyone to read or go through the ‘stuff’ on your phone❓

No? Then why leave the door to your messaging unlocked?

Credit to the developers 👍

 

Works as described. I’ve successfully imported 3rd party public key, so that seems ok. A nice app that functions smoothly.

••••••••••••••••••••

Side rant:

Back in the earl 90’s Philip Zimmerman created the first PGP, a command line application. Pretty Good Privacy was so good it was unbreakable.

Zimmerman created the tool because he foresaw the need for privacy in an ever-increasingly connected world, where messages may pass through many different servers, and the contents could possibly be read, or intercepted.

The public/private key employed by Zimmerman is now the de facto standard for many commercial applications.

To quote Hunter S Thompson:

“There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.”

The recent, and increasing, data breaches by one of the largest social media platforms should alarm everyone.

I quietly shake my head when I see others using very simple, and often repeated, passwords with no thought to security.

### 5/5 — Nice
