Nobody should be able to read your messages. Now nobody can. Every messenger promises your chats are private. But your messages still sit on someone else's servers, governed by someone else's policies, one breach or policy change away from exposure. You can't verify any of it. LockSpeak takes a different approach: don't trust - encrypt. Write your message in LockSpeak, encrypt it with a passphrase you share only with your recipient, and paste the scrambled text into any messenger you already use. The messenger delivers it, but all it ever sees is unreadable ciphertext. Only someone with the right passphrase can turn it back into words. Yes, it's one extra step. That's the point. That small step is what takes your privacy out of a corporation's hands and puts it back into yours. HOW IT WORKS 1. Agree on a passphrase with the person you message - in person is best 2. Type your message in LockSpeak and tap Encrypt & Copy 3. Paste into WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, email - anything that sends text 4. They paste it into LockSpeak and read it. Anyone else sees gibberish. BUILT TO KEEP SECRETS • Proven AES-256 encryption • Face ID / Touch ID required every time the app opens • Everything the app stores - passphrases, notes, history - is itself encrypted with your main passphrase • Private iCloud sync: your vault follows you to iPhone, iPad and Mac • One-tap paste, encrypt, copy and clear - built for real conversations WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT YOU: NOTHING No accounts. No servers. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. LockSpeak collects no personal data whatsoever - your data lives only on your devices and in your personal iCloud. We couldn't read your messages if we wanted to. Nobody can. That's the point. FREE & PRO LockSpeak is free to use with one passphrase. LockSpeak Pro (monthly subscription) unlocks: • Unlimited passphrases - one per person, group or topic • Message history - an encrypted, searchable record of what you sent and received Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, manage it anytime in your App Store settings. Honest by design: your passphrases never leave your devices, which also means we can't recover them. If you lose your passphrase, nobody, including us, can decrypt your data. That's not a limitation. That's the guarantee. Privacy Policy & Terms and conditions: https://lockspeak.wordpress.com/about/
