TL;DR - Here's the bottom line on how our MacOS/iOS Security & Privacy App works: Here are some features you get for just $0.99. Fully featured encrypted DNS Client with split tunneling and network interface customizations. A lightweight web browser for saved logins and important bookmarks with a forensic connection monitor, cookie and local storage viewer, security header auditor, logger, and site settings features that includes mTLS and Leaf certificate pinning. iCloud database integration so content is saved across all your devices. A new quick answers feature that leverages an offline Large Language Model (LLM) to ask basic but highly technical questions and conduct a number of text generation tasks. HTTP proxy client that allows real-time monitoring. Add-ons to create and share web deployables. Phone broadcasting so those web deployables can be shared with anyone on their WiFi network. And much, much more. For $0.99, you have made your MacOS/iOS device one of the most secure, private, and safe devices in the world. Worried about data collection? We do not collect your data. Period. Still worried? Use our content blocker modes instead so you don't have to trust us. All content blocker modes and browsing features use anti-cookie potentiation and ad/tracker blocking technologies. Some of these technologies are more sophisticated than the top names in web security. L;WR - Here's our long(er) explanation: Mobile browsing can be a scary place. Hackers and Cyber Criminals have found innovative ways to target you on the devices and applications you use the most. Cydog Browser is a company which provides the world's leading web security for the masses. This app and safari extension uses multiple methods to accomplish this in order to serve our users. First, we want to help you secure your mobile browser, even though we believe we have a much better one for you to use. Safari is one of the most used mobile browsers in the world. We have developed this extension to secure it with new web standards that don't even exist yet. Second, we believe cyber security is a feedback loop. Without privacy, you can't keep your security over time. We take efforts to limit your web footprint so the data you create and the traces you leave behind don't tell a story to anyone. Lastly, we think the ad tracking ecosystem is detrimental to human behavior because it helps compromise the first two through insidious social loop-holes. Social life is one tactic Hackers and Cyber Criminals use to compromise you. We don't let them because we starve them of data. We hope you enjoy better mobile browser security with the Cydog Toolkit!

MyCryptFS - Encrypted Folder Access, Privacy for Files Companion app for MyCryptFS on Mac - browse and read your encrypted folders on the go. MyCryptFS lets you open your encrypted gocryptfs folders on your mobile device. Files stay encrypted at rest and are decrypted only when you access them - browsing works just like any other folder. Engineered in Germany. § How it works Unlock with your password. Browse normally. Lock the folder - and every file becomes unreadable again, instantly. Your data never sits exposed. Both file contents and file names are encrypted - nothing visible without your password. No cloud sync, no third-party servers — your encryption keys never leave your device. § Key features - Read encrypted folders directly on a mobile device - File and folder name encryption: names are hidden from anyone without your password - Browse multiple encrypted folders independently - Works with Dropbox, Resilio Sync or any Files-compatible provider - your sync service sees only encrypted data, never your actual files § Privacy where it matters A lost phone or a breached cloud account shouldn't expose your tax returns, medical history, or legal documents. If their servers are breached, or subpoenaed - unencrypted documents are exposed. With MyCryptFS, those files are unreadable without your password - to anyone, including your Cloud sync provider. § Security Encryption is powered by gocryptfs, a battle-tested and audited open-source encrypted overlay filesystem using AES-256-GCM. Your encrypted data is cross-platform and portable - files are not held hostage by a proprietary format. Zero network activity. No analytics, no telemetry, no cloud backend. Encryption stays on your device, where it belongs.
