About

Cryptale

Features
Read full description

Cryptale hides your secret message inside an ordinary-looking, AI-written story. Share the story anywhere β€” in a text, an email, a note β€” and only someone with the right password (and the Cryptale app) can pull the secret back out. There's no invisible ink and no hidden characters. The secret lives in the words themselves: what you see is exactly what you send. Copy the story exactly as generated and it round-trips perfectly. β€’ Hide β€” type a private message, pick a style (Story, Chat, or News), add an optional password, and Cryptale weaves it into a natural passage. β€’ Reveal β€” paste a Cryptale story back in, enter the password, and watch the secret decode before your eyes. β€’ Encrypted β€” add a password and your message is encrypted; without it, the story is just a story. β€’ Private by design β€” your stories are saved only on your device, encrypted at rest. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. β€’ Three styles, light & dark themes, and a hidden "hacker" mode for the fun of it. Great for puzzles, playful notes, private reminders, and anyone curious about steganography and ciphers. Note: Cryptale generates and decodes stories on its secure server, so an internet connection is required.
