MessageSeal vs Thype

MessageSeal helps you protect text before sharing it through the apps you already use. Encrypt a message for selected recipients, or sign readable text so others can check its signature. PROTECT AND SHARE Write your message in Compose, choose Encrypt or Sign, and share the result through Messages, Mail, or another app. Use Open to decrypt encrypted messages or verify signed text. The included Messages extension lets you encrypt, sign, share public identities, and open compatible protected text inside Messages. YOUR KEYS, YOUR DEVICE Create your own identities in Keys and save other people's public identities in People. Private keys are stored in the device Keychain. Manage multiple identities, create password-protected encrypted backups, and use dedicated temporary identities for one-off exchanges. EXCHANGE PUBLIC IDENTITIES NEARBY When two devices are together, use Nearby Exchange to exchange public identities and compare a matching safety code before saving. Nearby Exchange runs in the main app while its screen is open. LOCAL BY DESIGN Encryption, signing, decryption, and verification happen on your device. No account, advertising, analytics, or cloud sync. Optional device authentication helps protect access to your keys and opened messages. A guided tour and Help & Security guide explain each step. The current crypto profile uses Apple's XWing HPKE to wrap message keys, AES-256-GCM to protect message text, and hybrid ML-DSA87 + P521 signatures. MessageSeal protects text contents. The app you use to transport a message may still retain copies and transport metadata. Signed text remains readable. A valid signature or matching safety code does not establish a person's name by itself; confirm public identities through a trusted channel before relying on them. Requires iOS or iPadOS 26.0 or later.

Thype is a Thai keyboard for anyone who knows how Thai sounds but does not want to hunt for keys on the Kedmanee layout. Type Thai the way it sounds, in Roman letters, and Thype writes it in Thai script as you go. Type "sawatdee" and you get สวัสดี. Type "kin kao" and you get กินข้าว. HOW IT WORKS Type a word phonetically and press space. Thype shows the Thai readings it thinks you meant, best guess first, and you keep typing. Tap a different candidate whenever the first one is not the word you wanted. Press return to commit the sentence. Because Thype reads the whole sentence rather than one word at a time, a word you type now can correct a word you typed three words ago - while everything is still editable, before any of it is committed. BUILT FOR HOW PEOPLE ACTUALLY SPELL There is no single correct way to write Thai in Roman letters, so Thype accepts the ways people really type. Formal and everyday informal spellings all work: "jai" and "chai", "phuket" and "puket", "gai" and "kai". Misspell something and a fuzzy match usually still finds the word. FEATURES - Whole-sentence conversion that revises earlier words as you type - Candidates ranked by frequency, by context, and by what you personally pick - English to Thai suggestions: type an English word and take the Thai one instead - Your own dictionary - add any Roman-to-Thai spelling, including names - The standard Thai (Kedmanee) layout, one tap away, for when you want to type Thai directly - Commit anything exactly as typed, so unusual words and names are never in your way - Light and dark appearance, matching the native feeling of system keyboard COMPLETELY OFFLINE Thype contains no networking call at all. The dictionary, the English-Thai glossary and the language model are bundled inside the app and run on your device. It works in Airplane Mode exactly as it does otherwise. That also means there is nothing to collect. No accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, no tracking. The words you pick and the words you add stay on your device, they can be cleared from the Thype app whenever you like, and they go away when you delete the app. Full Access is optional. Granting it lets the keyboard and the app share one personal dictionary. Leave it off and the keyboard works exactly the same, minus that sharing. REQUIREMENTS iPhone running iOS 16 or later. iPad running iPadOS 16 or later.
