Type a message. Pick a secret code. Send the scrambled result through any app you already use — Messages, WhatsApp, email, even a handwritten note. Only someone who knows your code can read it. Not us, not your carrier, not whoever is looking over their shoulder. REAL ENCRYPTION, NOT A TOY CIPHER Your message is locked with AES-256. Your secret code is the only key — there is no master key, no backdoor, and no way to recover a message if the code is lost. Codes are strengthened before use, so even a short one is slow to attack. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No servers. The app never connects to the internet, so your messages and codes are never collected, uploaded, or shared. Saved codes live in your device keychain, on this device only. FOUR WAYS TO SEND • Text — a block of scrambled letters and numbers. Paste it anywhere. • Emoji — the same message, disguised as a string of emoji. • Hidden — your secret tucked invisibly inside an ordinary sentence you write. Anyone reading sees only the cover text. • Classic — turns letters into letters. No code is ever reported as wrong, so someone guessing gets thousands of believable answers and no way to tell which is yours. Best for short secrets: a time, a place, a name, a password. SHARING A CODE, SAFELY A code only works if your recipient has it too, so the app gives you three ways to hand one over without ever sending it: • Say it out loud, in person or on a call. • Attach a hint that travels with the message — a question only your recipient can answer. • Show a Code Card: a QR your friend scans off your screen with their camera. Screen to camera, nothing in between. Save the codes you use and name them — "Mom," "Poker night" — so picking the right one takes a tap. DURESS CODES Any message can carry a second code that opens a harmless decoy message you wrote yourself. If someone pressures you into handing over your code, give them that one instead. Both messages are padded to the same size, so nothing in the scrambled text hints that a second message exists. STRONG CODES, MADE EASY Generate a passphrase you can read aloud over the phone, or a dense random string best shared by Code Card. Either way you see exactly how strong it is before you use it. Type your own and the app tells you honestly where it stands. UNSCRAMBLING IS ONE STEP Paste the whole chat message — greeting, signature, and all. The app finds the scrambled part on its own, whether it's text, emoji, or hidden inside a normal sentence. Built for people who'd rather keep a few things between themselves. No ads. No tracking.
DoseGuard Pro

DoseGuard is the shared medication tracker built for families with multiple caregivers. When more than one person is giving medicine to a child, miscommunication can lead to missed doses or dangerous double-dosing. DoseGuard eliminates that risk. WHY DOSEGUARD? Coordinating your child's medication schedule across parents, grandparents, babysitters, and daycare providers is stressful. Paper logs get lost. Text messages get buried. Memory fails at 3 AM. DoseGuard gives every caregiver a single, reliable source of truth. KEY FEATURES SHARED CAREGIVER TRACKING Add parents, grandparents, babysitters, and other caregivers. Everyone sees the same medication log in real time. No more guessing whether someone already gave the next dose. DUPLICATE DOSE PREVENTION DoseGuard automatically alerts you if a dose has already been logged within the medication's scheduled interval. This built-in safety check helps prevent accidental double-dosing. MEDICATION MANAGEMENT Add each medication with its name, dosage, frequency, and schedule. Track prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements all in one place. CHILD PROFILES Create a profile for each child with their name, date of birth, weight, and allergies. Weight-based dosing information is always at your fingertips. DOSE LOGGING WITH HISTORY Log every dose with a single tap. See who gave it, when, and any notes. Review the complete history anytime to spot patterns or share with your pediatrician. TODAY'S DASHBOARD See your child's next scheduled dose, today's summary, and recent activity at a glance. The dashboard keeps you informed without overwhelming you. SMART REMINDERS Enable notifications to get timely reminders when the next dose is due. Works even when your device is asleep. CAREGIVER ROLES Assign roles like Parent, Grandparent, Babysitter, or Doctor to each caregiver. Know at a glance who is responsible for each dose. ALLERGY TRACKING Record allergies for each child so every caregiver has critical safety information right on their device. DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES DoseGuard was designed from the ground up for the real-world chaos of family life. The interface is clean, simple, and fast because when your child needs medicine, you don't have time to navigate a complicated app. PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your device. We don't collect, sell, or share your family's health information. Period. IMPORTANT: DoseGuard is a tracking and organizational tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Always consult your child's healthcare provider regarding medication decisions.
