Cipher vs ZipChest

Password managers ask you to trust them with everything. One breach — and your whole digital life is exposed. Cipher works differently: you store hints, not passwords. The passwords stay in your head. HOW IT WORKS Keep two or three base patterns in your head. They are never written down anywhere. For each service, save only a hint about which pattern and which rule you used: "Bank — pattern B, caps, +2024" That hint is useless to anyone else. The password itself never leaves your head. WHAT YOU GET - Hints, notes and text files encrypted with AES, each protected by a passphrase you choose - Passphrases are never stored — not on the device, not in the cloud - Works fully offline, no account required - Optional cloud sync with your Apple or Google account, if you want your hints on every device - Import text files, search across your encrypted items - Also fits crypto seed-phrase hints and any private note WHO IT IS FOR People who do not want to hand every password to a single vault. If you have hundreds of random passwords, a password manager is the right tool. If you rely on patterns in your head and keep forgetting which rule you used where, Cipher is for you.

Got an archive you can't open? ZipChest opens it in one tap. ZipChest is a clean archive tool, and **every feature is open to everyone**. Unzip as much as you like — unlimited files, unlimited size, encrypted archives included, files on iCloud or any mounted cloud drive included. Packing, encrypting and choosing a format work the same way. No subscription, no countdown timers, no "you've used your two tries". UNZIP - Opens zip (including password-protected and ZIP64 archives), 7z (including AES-256 encrypted), tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, gz, bz2, xz, and iso disc images - Legacy non-UTF-8 file names decode correctly - Open archives right from Files, Mail, or any app's share sheet - Browse before extracting: see the file tree and sizes, tap any file for an instant preview - Extract everything with one tap, or select just the entries you need - Extract next to the archive, or pick any destination — including cloud drives mounted in Files - Live progress with cancel; malicious paths are blocked and cancelled jobs leave no half-written files PACK - Select files and folders, pack them into a zip — no limit on how many - **AES-256 encrypted zips** — password-protect contracts and photo packs - **7z output** - **Compression level 1–9** - All of the above are included. No purchase required. ABOUT ADS ZipChest is funded by a single banner at the bottom of the screen. If it gets in your way, the "Remove Ads" purchase takes it away for good — **it does not unlock any features, because every feature is already available**. Restore Purchases brings it back on a new device. PRIVACY Compression, extraction and encryption all happen on your device; your files are never uploaded to any server, and passwords live in memory only and are never stored. The app works normally in airplane mode — **only the banner at the bottom needs a connection**. ZipChest does not track you and never shows the "Allow tracking" prompt. Supported formats (this version): zip (plain/encrypted/ZIP64), 7z (plain/encrypted), tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, gz, bz2, xz, iso. More formats are on the way.
