With VOID, you can: • Encrypt your texts securely and offline. VOID uses AES-256 encryption to protect your information with military-grade security. All encryption and decryption happen locally on your device - your data never leaves your phone. No cloud storage, no internet connection, no third-party servers. Your information stays completely offline. • Encrypt your files with AES-256 + Argon2id. VOID protects not just text, but your files too. File encryption combines AES-256 with Argon2id - a memory-hard key derivation function that won the Password Hashing Competition - making brute-force attacks practically impossible. Encrypt any file directly on your device with no internet connection required. • Customize encryption parameters. Take full control of how your data is secured. Fine-tune settings including salt length (0-256 bytes), number of iterations (up to 500), memory usage (up to 1024 MiB), parallelism (up to 6 threads), and key length (up to 224 bytes). Apply up to 7 layers of encryption for maximum security. Advanced users can optimize encryption strength according to their needs. • Use a hidden key (VOID Secret). VOID Secret is a hidden key variant generated per device. Each device can generate up to 999 different hidden keys, providing an extra layer of protection. Only you can decrypt messages with the correct VOID Secret - your communication stays fully confidential even if the main password is shared. The hidden key is optional but adds meaningful security for sensitive conversations. • Encode your texts in emoji. Transform your messages into emoji sequences. VOID converts your text to Base64 and then into emojis, so you can send encrypted messages that look like strings of symbols. Adds a layer of secrecy while making encryption visually engaging. • Generate and customize QR codes. Turn any encrypted text into a QR code. Customize appearance - colors, style, and format - then export in multiple formats and share however you choose. Additional Features: Offline-first design: VOID never connects to the internet, stores, or transmits your data. No accounts or registration: No personal information is ever required. Temporary decryption timer: Set a self-expiring timer so messages can only be decrypted within a limited time. Security Mode: Blocks screenshots and screen recordings completely. Multilingual support: Use VOID in your preferred language. Intuitive UI/UX: Designed with Apple's guidelines in mind, with animations, haptic feedback, and simple navigation. With VOID, your information is encrypted and under your full control. You decide how, when, and with whom to share it. Secrets truly stay secret.

Encrypted Messenger

No Servers. No Registration. No Metadata. Just Pure Privacy. Encrypted Messenger is not just another "secure" app, itis a digital fortress built for those who demand absolute sovereignty over their communication. Designed for high-stakes privacy, it bypasses central servers entirely using a true Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architecture. If you are tired of "big tech" harvesting your metadata, Encrypted Messenger is your solution. ENGINEERED FOR TOTAL ANONYMITY Zero Registration: No phone numbers, no emails, no linked accounts. Your identity remains yours alone. True P2P Connectivity: Powered by WebRTC, your data moves directly from your device to your contact. We use a signaling server only for the initial "handshake". Once connected, you are off the grid. Double Ratchet Encryption (E2EE): We implement the industry-gold-standard Double Ratchet protocol over a dedicated Data Channel. Every message is re-keyed, ensuring that even if one key is compromised, the rest of your history remains safe. PHYSICAL SECURITY & ANTI-COERCION In the real world, your greatest threat is physical access to your device. We’ve built the app to protect you even then: Standalone Lock Screen: An independent security layer that triggers after 3 minutes of inactivity. Self-Destruct Protocol: Three failed password attempts trigger a permanent, military-grade wipe of the local database. "Panic" Remove Password: If you are ever forced to unlock the app, enter your secret Remove Password. The app will instantly and irretrievably wipe all chats and data, leaving no trace behind. SMART & RELIABLE COMMUNICATION You Are in Control: We never send your data through a server without your permission. Priority is always given to a direct P2P link. If a direct connection isn't possible, the app won't "auto-fail" to a relay. Instead, it offers you a choice: wait for a direct path or manually authorize a one-time encrypted relay transfer. Auto-Switching: Once a direct P2P path becomes available, the app immediately suggests switching back to ensure maximum privacy and speed. Visual Transparency: Intuitive status icons show you exactly how your message was delivered. Know at a glance if you are "Direct" (P2P) or "Relayed." Full Media Support: Send high-res photos, videos, files, and voice notes without compression. Every bit of data is protected by the same E2EE Double Ratchet protocol, regardless of the delivery method. HOW IT WORKS: Generate a one-time Invite Code. Share it via a trusted channel (Code expires in 5 minutes). Once your contact joins, the code is burned, and a secure, direct tunnel is established. Local Storage Only: All data lives in an encrypted SQL database on your phone. No backups in the cloud. No logs on a server. If you lose your password, the data is gone forever. Exactly as it should be. Take back your right to be private. Go Direct.
