Three core strengths Zero-hallucination AI Q&A: Every answer is strictly grounded in the source text, with one-tap trace-to-source. Full-text translation (AI-grade): Translate an entire book in one tap, paragraph-by-paragraph comparison, with terminology consistency that outperforms generic engines. Local-first, privacy in your hands: Data stays on your device by default; cloud is on only when you want it—you're always in control. Features in detail AI Q&A Fully faithful to the source, following a strict "zero hallucination" principle. Understands the full text semantically to answer your questions precisely—uncover concept links, implicit logic, and other details buried in the content. Every reply supports one-tap trace-to-source—tap the citation marker after an answer to jump to the original passage instantly; reading and lookup flow together seamlessly. Conversations can be exported to Word and Markdown for editing or use in other apps. Custom AI providers Built-in high-quality AI models (e.g. DeepSeek). Connect your own API key or local Ollama—pay for what you use, data stays on your device. Full-text translation Translate an entire book in one tap with exceptionally high-quality AI translation—better context awareness than traditional machine translation, with terminology consistency that beats generic translators. Inline comparison (paragraph-by-paragraph) and translation-only modes for seamless bilingual reading and learning. Listen Integrated TTS read-aloud—listen to ePub and PDF alike. The current word is highlighted as it's spoken, with clear pronunciation. Adjust speed and voice as you like. Bookshelf Batch import + auto categorization: import a folder in one step; categories are built from subfolder names, skipping tedious manual sorting. Reading experience, refined Instant loading: open and read with almost no wait. Infinite scroll: content before and after flows smoothly as you scroll—no manual page turns. Multiple layouts: continuous scroll, single page, two-page spread, auto pagination (calculated from screen width to make the most of your space). Fonts & themes: native fonts, one-tap switching; 5 background images, 6 themes (including dark mode)—comfortable reading at night. Image browsing: swipe or tap buttons to preview every image in the book. PDF highlights One-tap copy of original images: no screenshots—paste crisp assets into Word or any app. Background colors match your theme: no harsh white glare; PDF pages blend with the overall look. In dark theme, adjust PDF text brightness separately for extra eye comfort. Local-first, privacy you can trust All books stay on your device by default—this app does not upload your data on its own. Cloud sync is optional—you're always in control.

Encrypted by default. Beautiful by design. hYYa Encrypted Folder keeps your files in private, AES-256 encrypted folders that unlock with Face ID or Touch ID. No hYYa account. No hYYa server. Nothing of yours ever passes through us. REAL ENCRYPTION, NOT A DISGUISE • AES-256, using Apple's own encryption — not a hidden folder, not a passcode over plain files. The contents are genuinely encrypted on your device. • Your key is stored in your Keychain, and hYYa asks for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode before it will use it. Only you can read it: not us, not Apple. • Files are encrypted the moment they go in. Add them in a few taps. • File names inside are encrypted too. The only name left visible is the folder's own. NEW IN 2.1 • Google Drive sync — keep an encrypted folder in your own Google Drive and open it on your other devices. hYYa encrypts the folder on this device. Only encrypted files are uploaded. Google can see the folder's name, not what is inside. Entirely optional. • Recently Deleted for folders — a folder you delete can be recovered for 30 days. • One recovery key now covers all your folders. PEACE OF MIND, BUILT IN • Recovery Key — opens your folders if you forget your passphrase. We cannot reset it for you; this can. • Share to hYYa — send files straight into an encrypted folder from Photos, Files, Mail, or anywhere that shares. • Add from Photos — pick photos and videos with no re-compression, then remove the originals if you want to. • Scan Document — scan paper straight into an encrypted folder. • Recently Deleted — files you delete inside a folder can be recovered for 30 days. • Verify — checks that every file in a folder still opens. • Shortcuts and Siri — "Lock All Folders", ready for the Action button and your automations. • Family Sharing — one purchase covers your household. UNLOCK WITH FACE ID OR TOUCH ID • Open every folder with a single Face ID or Touch ID check. Your device passcode is always there as a fallback. • The app locks itself the moment you switch away, and hides your files from the app switcher. • Auto-Lock (Pro) locks everything again after a period of inactivity. SYNC PRIVATELY — iCLOUD OR GOOGLE DRIVE • Keep a folder in iCloud and it syncs across your iPhone, iPad and Mac, end-to-end encrypted the whole way. • Or keep it in your own Google Drive. Either way, hYYa encrypts the folder on this device. Only encrypted files are uploaded. • Enter your passphrase once on each device, then unlock with Face ID or Touch ID. • Works offline. Syncing is optional. No sign-up, no email, no tracking, ever. FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME UPGRADE • Free: up to two encrypted folders in total, plus Face ID / Touch ID unlock and private sync. Opening folders you already have is always free. • hYYa Encrypted Folder Pro (one payment, no subscription): unlimited folders and Auto-Lock. ALSO ON MAC The Mac version adds Folder Styler — give any everyday Finder folder a custom color and emblem. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY We collect nothing. No analytics, no account system, and hYYa runs no server of its own. The encryption is Apple's own and standard. Your files, your key, your device. hYYa Encrypted Folder is part of the hYYa family — a small studio building beautiful, private tools you can actually trust.
