Keywave vs PGPony

PGP encryption for people who value their privacy. Everything runs on your device. No servers, no tracking, no compromises. WHAT IT DOES Keywave is a native iOS app for PGP encryption and decryption. Encrypt messages before you send them. Decrypt the ones you receive. Manage your keys. That's it. Everything runs locally using Protonmail's open-source gopenpgp library. Your keys never leave your phone. We can't see them even if we wanted to. CORE FEATURES • Encrypt & Decrypt Messages Swipe to switch modes. Select your keys. Tap to encrypt or decrypt. Copy the result. Done. • Generate PGP Keys Create new keypairs at 2048, 3072, or 4096-bit RSA. Optional password protection. Takes seconds. • Key Management Store unlimited keys on your device. Search by name, email, or fingerprint. Filter by public, private, expiring, or expired. Sort by name, date, type, or fingerprint. • Import Keys Open key files (.asc, .gpg, .key, .pub, .pem) from the Files app, paste from the clipboard, or share text straight into Keywave from another app. • Export Keys ASCII Armored or binary. Save to Files, share to another app, or copy to the clipboard. • Clean iOS Design Native SwiftUI. Haptic feedback. Dark by default. No clutter. WHY KEYWAVE Most PGP apps are ugly, complicated, or both. We're neither. • 100% Local Processing No servers. No cloud. No network requests at all. Everything happens on your device. • Zero Data Collection We don't collect, store, or see your data. No analytics. No tracking. No telemetry. • Open Source Foundation Built on Protonmail's battle-tested gopenpgp library. Transparent. Auditable. • iOS-Native Designed for iOS from the start. Not a port. Not a web page in a wrapper. WHO IT'S FOR • Privacy-conscious individuals • People tired of bloated encryption tools • Anyone who needs PGP without the complexity • Users who want their data to stay on their device SECURITY • Keys stored in the iOS Keychain • Password prompts for protected keys • Signature verification when you decrypt • No plaintext storage of sensitive data • Standard OpenPGP, so it works with GPG and other PGP tools WHAT IT'S NOT This isn't a messaging app. We don't send anything. We encrypt and decrypt text; you send it however you like. This isn't cloud-based. Everything stays on your device. If you want backups, export your keys yourself. This isn't for everyone. If you need someone to explain why encryption matters, we're not that app. THE FINE PRINT • Free. Every feature included. • No ads. No in-app purchases. • Requires iOS 17.6 or later • Works completely offline • Export your keys to keep your own backups Privacy isn't a feature. It's the whole point.

PGPony makes PGP encryption easy, private, and powerful, and every feature is free. Generate keys, encrypt to people or to a password, sign and verify, back up your whole keyring, and revoke compromised keys, all from your iPhone and iPad, in eleven languages. New in 8.4.0: pairing with PGPony Desktop, key certification, Ed448 keys, a PGPony PIN, and Korean, Turkish and Ukrainian, with every screen translated. POST-QUANTUM Encrypt with ML-KEM-768 or ML-KEM-1024 paired with X25519, and sign with ML-DSA-65 paired with Ed25519 (RFC 9980), on RFC 9580 (v6) keys or the v4 shape GnuPG 2.5 reads. Add post-quantum subkeys to a key you already have. HARDWARE SECURITY KEYS Generate a key pair on the card over NFC, or add an existing card with a tap. Sign, decrypt, and encrypt-and-sign in one step, with RSA and ECC (Ed25519/Curve25519) keys, on YubiKey, Token2, and others, over NFC or USB-C. Full card admin: PINs, factory reset, and Card Details. ENCRYPT, DECRYPT & SIGN Encrypt messages and files of any size to one or many public keys, or to a password with no keys at all, readable by gpg -c and back. Pick which subkey to encrypt to when a key has more than one. Decrypt with a private key, a hardware key, or a passphrase, and see which of your keys opened the message. Sign without encrypting, including detached signatures, and verify a file against its signature. GENERATE & MANAGE KEYS Create keys on a card or in-app: post-quantum, v6 Ed25519, classic Ed25519 + Cv25519, or RSA 2048/4096, with or without an email address. Add, revoke, or remove subkeys (including authentication subkeys) and User IDs. Full OpenPGP v6 (RFC 9580), interoperable with Sequoia PGP and GnuPG. Import from files, clipboard, QR codes, or keyservers. Make revocation certificates and export private keys (GnuPG-compatible). BACK UP & RESTORE Save your whole keyring, secret keys included, as one encrypted file. A single backup code opens it, and the same file restores onto another iPhone or iPad. The file stays with you, never on anyone's server. KEYSERVERS Look up a recipient by email through Web Key Directory, then key servers. Add your own servers, publish to several at once, and upload an updated key straight from Key Detail. Route lookups through Tor or a SOCKS proxy, or turn on offline mode to stop every network request. PASSWORD STORE Open a pass (password-store) folder, decrypt an entry with a software or hardware key, and copy it through an auto-clearing clipboard. SHARE SHEET EXTENSION Encrypt or decrypt text, encrypt a file, or sign a file in any app: Safari, Files, Notes, Mail. SECURITY FIRST Face ID / Touch ID lock with auto-lock. Software keys live in the iOS Keychain. Keys and messages from outside are checked strictly before they are used. No analytics, tracking, accounts, or sign-up. Your private keys never leave your device, and with a hardware key they never leave the card. ELEVEN LANGUAGES English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, and Ukrainian. Built by an indie developer who cares about your privacy. Your keys, your messages, your data, always yours.
