Read full description

Did you and your siblings or friends have a secret language when you were young? In today's digital landscape the art and fun of having and sharing a secret language has been lost. That is why this fun little entertainment app Scramblify came to be. Scramblify helps you generate or choose a secret key that shuffles around the letters in any message that you feed it and then lets you share the key and the scrambled message with a chosen contact. Once the contact also has Scramblify installed and the key saved to your contact on a device you two can begin sending secret messages to each other through the messaging service of choice.  Simply Scramble and De-scramble any messages with Scramblify and you suddenly have that lost secret language back but in a digital way. Scramblify let's you: - Scramble and de-scramble as much text as you want. - Create keys and save as many contacts as you please. - Re-live that fun feeling of having a secret language. What Scramblify isn't: - A messaging app. You can only copy text to and from the app, not send messages from it. - A tool for shenanigans and evil-doers. - A substitute for a safe way to communicate. All keys in the app can easily be decrypted which means that you shouldn't rely on Scramblify for scrambling and sending personal, private or sensitive information. There are REAL services for that. Scramblify is an entertainment app that is supposed to be fun.
