Secret messages. Endless possibilities. A clue for your next treasure hunt. A mysterious note for your tabletop adventure. A secret shared with someone who knows the code. Rune Scribe is your digital decoder ring: write a message, transform it into encrypted runes, and give every secret a world of its own. ONE CIPHER. MANY WORLDS. Begin with the Norse Codex and discover Moonleaf, Sunspire, Wildwood, and Gloamthorn as you progress. Each Codex brings its own visual identity, decorative script, and collectible artwork. MAKE EVERY MESSAGE YOUR OWN Choose available Relics and Seals to give your encoded message a distinctive appearance. Explore your collection in the Vault and earn more presentation options through ordinary use. Encoding and decoding are not locked behind cosmetic progression. SHARE SECRETS YOUR WAY Create named ciphers for different friends or adventures. Share a cipher privately by invitation, QR code, or file. Send message artwork and encrypted rune text through Messages, or use supported file-sharing destinations for a Rune Scribe message package. YOUR KEYS. YOUR CONTROL. Messages are encrypted on your device with Apple's CryptoKit AES-256-GCM. Keep a local cipher library, organize it with optional Contacts access, and add an optional four-digit App Lock PIN. No Raven Forge account. No advertising or tracking. A JOURNEY THAT STAYS OPTIONAL Enjoy local achievements and collectible rewards. Optional private iCloud sync mirrors progression, not your messages or cipher keys. Optional Game Center reporting shares achievement progress. Core encoding and decoding work without either service. MADE FOR IPHONE, IPAD, AND MAC Create, encode, and decode with native interfaces across your Apple devices. In-app QR scanning is available on iPhone and iPad. Important: a shared cipher contains the key needed to read and create messages with that cipher. Share it privately and only with people you trust. Recipients need Rune Scribe and the matching cipher to decode. Ordinary message artwork is not a tappable decryption link; recipients can copy the accompanying rune text into Rune Scribe. The decorative scripts are not historical-language translations. What will you hide in your next message?
