Secret Delivery encrypts your files and text so only the people you choose can read them. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Your password never leaves your device — and neither does your data. FREE TO START • Encrypt and decrypt text messages — free, forever. • Share encrypted text as a secretdelivery:// link, or copy and paste the ciphertext anywhere. PRO UNLOCK (one-time purchase) • Encrypt and decrypt files of any type. • Quick Look previews of .sdenc files right inside Files and Finder. • Import from Camera and Photos, and save to iCloud Drive. • Face ID / Touch ID lock and configurable autolock. • Run encrypt and decrypt from Shortcuts, Siri, and Spotlight — or with a long-press in Files. STRONGER ENCRYPTION • New files use AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 key strengthening (600,000 iterations), a random salt and nonce per file, and an authentication tag that detects tampering. • Your existing encrypted files still open — Secret Delivery detects the format automatically. Need to send a file to someone on an older version? Turn on Legacy Mode for the session, or upgrade old files in place. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything happens on-device. We collect nothing, and there is no analytics SDK. • The app blurs its contents in the app switcher and wipes temporary decrypted files when it moves to the background. EXISTING CUSTOMERS Already bought Secret Delivery? Thank you — everything stays unlocked at no extra cost. Just open the app on your Apple ID and Pro is restored automatically.
