Take the security of your data into your own hands. Cryptomator encrypts your files before they reach the cloud — so only you hold the key. Not your cloud provider, not us, no one. Most cloud providers encrypt your data only during transmission, or they keep the decryption keys themselves — keys that can be stolen, copied, or misused. With Cryptomator, the key to your data stays in your hands. EASY TO USE Cryptomator is a simple tool for digital self-defense. Protect your cloud data yourself, independently. • Assign a password to a folder — we call it a vault. That's all: no key creation, no registration, no configuration • Unlock vaults with Face ID / Touch ID • Fully integrated into the Files app — browse and open your encrypted files right where you already manage them • Everything you save into a vault is encrypted automatically COMPATIBLE Cryptomator works with the most commonly used cloud storages and is available for all major operating systems. • Compatible with iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint (incl. Microsoft Teams), pCloud, Box, WebDAV- and S3-based cloud storage services • Create vaults in any location via other File Providers (third-party apps must support this) • Access the same vaults across all your mobile devices and computers SECURE & TRUSTWORTHY You don't have to trust Cryptomator blindly, because it is open source software — everyone can see the code: https://github.com/cryptomator/ios • No backdoors and no expiration date, thanks to open source • File content and filename encryption with AES and 256 bit key length • Vault password secured with scrypt for enhanced brute-force resistance • Independently audited by security researchers; crypto implementation publicly documented If someone looks into the folder in your cloud, they cannot draw any conclusions about your data. AWARD-WINNING Cryptomator received the CeBIT Innovation Award 2016 for Usable Security and Privacy.

Need a clean menu for your café, food truck, pop-up, bake sale or dinner party? Menuly turns your sections, dishes and prices into a styled, printable menu PDF — no design software, no template hunting. Enter your restaurant name and an optional tagline, add sections and dishes, pick a paper size and style, and tap Make Menu PDF. • YOUR SECTIONS — starters, mains, desserts, drinks or anything you like. Add, rename and delete sections and items as you go. • NAME, DESCRIPTION, PRICE — each dish gets its name on the left, the price on the right joined by dotted leaders, and an optional description underneath. Prices are free text, so any currency works. • THREE STYLES — Classic, Modern and Bistro, each with its own accent colour. • LETTER OR A4 — choose US Letter or A4 paper. Long menus continue onto as many pages as they need — no dish is split across pages and a section heading never sits alone at the bottom — with page numbers and your restaurant name repeated at the top of each extra page. The paper size starts on the one your region uses. • PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE — print with AirPrint, share the PDF, or save it to Files. Honest scope: Menuly makes text-only menus — no photos or logos — and it isn't an ordering, POS or QR-menu system. Your menu is saved on your iPhone as you type, so it's still there the next time you open the app. Your menu is made on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 menus. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited menus. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
