XText Pro is a fully offline text encryption tool built on AES military-grade encryption, delivering extremely strong protection for every piece of your text and giving your device powerful offline text encryption and decryption capabilities. Choose the cipher mode that best fits your scenario: 1. General Cipher: Prevents messaging apps from parsing your text and protects it from recognition or analysis. 2. Custom Cipher: Only people with the same key can decrypt the content. 3. Client-to-Client Cipher: Creates an exclusive encrypted channel between you and the other person. Both sides can decrypt each other’s messages, and no one else can view them. 4. Burn-after-reading Cipher: Even with the same key, the recipient can decrypt only once. The content becomes invalid immediately after reading. Features: - Offline and real-time encryption: The same content produces a different encrypted result each time, significantly enhancing security. - Supports generating and scanning encrypted QR codes for faster sharing. - Supports biometric unlocking (Face ID / Touch ID) to secure access to the app. - Quick sharing: Easily copy and share encrypted text in any app. Why Use XText Pro: 1. Effectively prevents impersonation scams by ensuring identity authenticity. 2. Protects chat history from being leaked through screenshots, as encrypted text cannot be viewed. 3. Enables emails, SMS, and other plaintext communication apps to support burn-after-reading messages. 4. Protects privacy, work content, and sensitive information, making communication more secure.

塔台是一个在你 iPhone 上运行的配置文件转换工具。 它解决的是一件很具体的事:你手上有一份订阅文本,而你使用的客户端需要另一种格式的配置文件。塔台把前者转换成后者。 转换全部在这台设备上完成。订阅地址、节点信息和生成的配置文件不会上传到任何服务器,也不经过任何第三方在线转换服务。 ■ 它做什么 · 读取订阅文本,识别其中的节点条目 · 支持十二种协议格式的解析与输出 · 生成七种客户端各自的配置文件格式 · 按国家和地区自动分组,生成对应的策略组 · 内置规则集,也可以导入你自己的规则 · 生成好的文件可以分享、复制,或直接交给同一台设备上的目标 App ■ 为什么在本机做 同类工具通常把订阅内容发到远程服务器转换。订阅文本里有服务器地址和密码,一旦发出去,你就无法确认它被怎么处理了。 塔台不发。转换器、规则快照和用于识别国家地区的 IP 数据库都随 App 一起打包,需要用到时直接在设备上查。 ■ 关于联网 塔台只在三种情况下联网,每一种都由你按下按钮触发:获取你自己填写的订阅地址、导入你主动提供的规则链接、以及解析节点域名。除此之外它不会在后台或启动时发起任何请求。 国家和地区的识别不联网:先看节点名字,看不出来才查随 App 打包的离线数据库。你的服务器地址不会被发送出去查询。 ■ 关于数据 塔台没有账号、没有统计、没有崩溃上报、没有广告,也没有任何第三方 SDK。它不收集任何数据。 写到磁盘的文件——包括导出的配置和二维码图片——使用 iOS 的完整文件保护,设备锁定时无法读取。 ■ 代码是公开的 上面每一条都可以自己去代码里核对,而不用相信这段文字: https://github.com/pengchujin/tower ■ 请注意 塔台是一个文件格式转换工具。它本身不建立任何网络连接隧道,不接管系统流量,也不提供任何服务器或节点。你需要自备订阅内容,并使用其他 App 来使用生成的配置。

XText Pro's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
