Phrase Manager keeps your passwords, passkeys, verification codes and confidential records encrypted on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, behind Face ID or Touch ID. No account. No servers of our own. No ads or tracking. Sync is optional, travels through your own iCloud and is encrypted on your device, so only you can read it. YOUR MAIN PASSWORD MANAGER Turn it on in Settings › General › AutoFill & Passwords and your passwords appear above the keyboard in Safari and in apps. You can also save new passwords from Safari and let Phrase Manager generate the strong password each site asks for. NOW ON THE MAC The same vault in a native Mac app, with a sidebar, menu commands and keyboard shortcuts. Fill passwords, passkeys and codes in Safari and unlock with Touch ID. One app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. SYNC THAT ONLY YOU CAN READ Turn on iCloud Sync and every record is encrypted on your device before it travels through your own iCloud. The vault key never goes to iCloud: you link each device once by scanning a QR code and comparing a 6-digit code. Sync stays off until you turn it on. PASSKEYS Create passkeys on sites that already accept them and sign in with Face ID alone. They are stored encrypted in your vault. TWO-STEP VERIFICATION CODES Scan the site's QR code and your codes live next to the password, with a countdown and AutoFill. MUCH MORE THAN PASSWORDS Private notes, bank accounts, cards, social security, ID documents, Wi-Fi networks, licenses and security questions. Sensitive numbers stay masked and ask for Face ID before they are revealed. CAPTURE WITH THE CAMERA Photograph a router label or a letter from the bank: the app reads the text and lets you check it character by character, highlighting the ones that get confused (0 and O, 1 and l). SMART IMPORT Paste an email or pick a photo and the app fills in a record for you to review. The analysis happens on your device, using the on-device language model when your device supports it. GENERATOR Memorable phrases in Spanish or English, random passwords or PINs, always with the real strength of each option. VAULT HEALTH See at a glance which passwords are weak, reused, overdue or saved twice. A BACKUP YOU CAN ACTUALLY KEEP Create an encrypted backup file with a passphrase you choose and store it wherever you like. PRIVACY Everything is encrypted with AES-256 and the key lives in the keychain behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. The developer cannot see or recover your information.

Turn your iPhone into an authentic WWII Enigma machine. Send encrypted iMessages that only recipients with matching settings can decode — just like the real thing. Make your cipher unbreakable by defining your own custom rotors and reflectors, eliminating the historical Enigma's notorious no-self-encrypt weakness. Cipher any language in any app with the Enigma Keyboard and Share Extension. HOW IT WORKS The Enigma cipher routes each keypress through a cascade of rotors and a reflector, substituting letters in a way that advances with every press. The simulated historical machine uses different rotor types, reflector types, positions, ring settings, and plugboard pairs — producing ciphered text exactly as it was done in history. The app also revitalises the historical machine by letting you define custom rotors and reflectors. Custom reflectors can include fixed points, eliminating the no-self-encrypt weakness. The expanded code space reaches 26! × 26! × 26! — approximately 10^78 — making messages virtually unbreakable. Enigma Cipher also supports all world languages, and lets you cipher and decipher in any iPhone app via the Enigma iMessage Extension, Enigma Keyboard, and Enigma Share Extension. FEATURES · iMessage Extension — compose and send encrypted bubbles directly in Messages; tap a received bubble to decrypt · Custom Keyboard — type encrypted text in any app, with a compose area showing plaintext and ciphertext side by side · Share Extension — highlight any text in any app and decrypt or encrypt it instantly · 5 historical rotors (I–V), 3 reflectors (UKW-A/B/C), and a 10-pair plugboard · Design your own custom rotors and reflectors with a visual wiring editor and randomizer; add fixed points to your reflector to eliminate no-self-encrypt · Share Enigma settings with another iPhone via QR code display and scan · Codebook — save, load, and share machine configurations · Signal path animation — watch each keypress travel through rotors, reflector, and back · Brass and mahogany UI inspired by the original hardware · Sound effects · Fully offline — no account, no server, no data collection THE MACHINE The container app is your settings and codebook control centre. A gear dial row at the top shows rotor positions in real time. Change rotors and rewire plugboard cables with a realistic interactive UI. The tester lets you encrypt and decrypt on a lampboard-style keyboard, with paper tape strips for input and output. All settings — rotor choices, ring settings, reflector, plugboard, and initial positions — are shared across the Enigma Keyboard, iMessage Extension, and Share Extension. SHARING SETTINGS Export your machine configuration as a QR code to share with a friend. Both devices must use identical settings to exchange readable messages — exactly how Enigma operators coordinated in the field. PRIVACY Enigma Cipher is fully offline. No data ever leaves your device. No analytics, no tracking, no ads.
