XText is a secure text encryption and decryption app.Powered by high-strength AES encryption, it ensures your messages are unreadable, hard to spread, and extremely difficult to leak. XText supports decrypting cipher texts from XTexter. These cipher texts use a platform-wide shared key. Choose the right cipher for different scenarios: 1. Universal Cipher Prevents automatic parsing by messaging apps. Can be decrypted by all XText apps. 2. Custom Cipher Share information only with people who own the same secret key. Ensures that only designated recipients can read the content. 3. Client-to-Client Cipher Establishes an exclusive encrypted channel between you and the recipient. Only both parties can decrypt; no third party can access the content. 4. Burn-After-Reading Cipher Even with the same key, the message can only be decrypted once. It becomes invalid immediately after reading. Key Features: - Real-time encryption: The same text produces a different result every time, greatly improving security. - Generate and scan encrypted QR codes for easier sharing. - Biometric unlock support (Face ID / Touch ID) to protect app access. - Fast sharing: easily copy cipher text into any app. We firmly believe that truly secure data must keep transmission and encryption completely separate. Instant messaging apps that integrate encryption with communication are fundamentally insecure. XText Pro supports fully offline text encryption and decryption.
