MyCryptFS - Encrypted Folder Access, Privacy for Files Companion app for MyCryptFS on Mac - browse and read your encrypted folders on the go. MyCryptFS lets you open your encrypted gocryptfs folders on your mobile device. Files stay encrypted at rest and are decrypted only when you access them - browsing works just like any other folder. Engineered in Germany. § How it works Unlock with your password. Browse normally. Lock the folder - and every file becomes unreadable again, instantly. Your data never sits exposed. Both file contents and file names are encrypted - nothing visible without your password. No cloud sync, no third-party servers — your encryption keys never leave your device. § Key features - Read encrypted folders directly on a mobile device - File and folder name encryption: names are hidden from anyone without your password - Browse multiple encrypted folders independently - Works with Dropbox, Resilio Sync or any Files-compatible provider - your sync service sees only encrypted data, never your actual files § Privacy where it matters A lost phone or a breached cloud account shouldn't expose your tax returns, medical history, or legal documents. If their servers are breached, or subpoenaed - unencrypted documents are exposed. With MyCryptFS, those files are unreadable without your password - to anyone, including your Cloud sync provider. § Security Encryption is powered by gocryptfs, a battle-tested and audited open-source encrypted overlay filesystem using AES-256-GCM. Your encrypted data is cross-platform and portable - files are not held hostage by a proprietary format. Zero network activity. No analytics, no telemetry, no cloud backend. Encryption stays on your device, where it belongs.

All your email in one beautiful inbox, without spy pixels. Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, Yahoo, Fastmail or any IMAP account. Pliego shows it to you, and nobody else. Your email stays where it always lived. Pliego is just the app that shows it: fast, private and free of ads. SIGN UP WITHOUT GIVING YOUR REAL EMAIL Create disposable addresses with their own inbox. Verification codes are ready to copy, and Pliego warns you when an address starts getting mail from someone it wasn't meant for. Pause or delete it and the spam stops. ENCRYPTED EMAIL, WITHOUT SWITCHING ACCOUNTS Send a password-protected message the recipient opens in any browser, even on Gmail or Outlook. The key never leaves your iPhone. Nobody in between, not even Pliego, can read it. AI THAT STAYS ON YOUR iPHONE A daily summary of what matters across all your accounts, processed on device with Apple Intelligence. Prefer another model? Bring your own OpenAI or Google Gemini key, or point Pliego at any compatible server, including your own Ollama. No margin added, no lock-in. IS IT REALLY YOUR BANK? With AI on, Pliego warns you when a sender isn't who they claim to be, before you tap anything. NEVER LOSE A REPLY Pick a reminder when you send. If they answer, it cancels itself. If they don't, Pliego lets you know. FILES TOO BIG FOR EMAIL Send videos, RAW photos and huge PDFs with Pliego Bandeja: encrypted, with a link that expires and a download limit.
