TruCrypt is encrypted messaging built so that no one but you and the person you're talking to can read a word — not hackers, not us, not anyone who asks. Every message gets its own unique encryption key. Your private key is generated on your device and never leaves it. There's no master key, no backdoor — TruCrypt physically cannot decrypt your conversations. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Send encrypted text, voice notes, photos, videos, and documents in one-on-one conversations — no SMS/MMS exposure, no message limits • Store sensitive files in an encrypted Vault that lives only on your device — never uploaded, never in our reach • Set messages to disappear automatically when a conversation calls for it • Verify who you're really talking to with safety-number verification • Back up your key with a password only you know, so losing your phone doesn't mean losing your history • Real lock-screen previews — still end-to-end encrypted, so your notifications never touch a readable message on our servers CREATOR UPGRADE (OPTIONAL) • Create group Rooms to message multiple people at once • Turn on Stealth Mode to keep your profile out of search and contact discovery entirely WHY IT'S DIFFERENT TruCrypt ships with zero analytics or tracking SDKs — we don't watch how you use the app any more than we can read what you send in it. No ads, no data monetization, no compromises. Built for anyone who needs real confidentiality: individuals, professionals, and anyone with something worth protecting.
