Encode Keyboard lets you encode and decode text in the app or directly from a custom iOS keyboard. TYPE, CONVERT, CONTINUE • Type in a supported text field, choose Encode or Decode, then select a codec • Tap Convert to replace the current line before the cursor • Undo the last conversion instantly • Switch between English and Vietnamese input TWELVE FORMATS, HONEST LABELS • RFC 4648 Base64, Base64URL, Base32, and Base16/Hex • RFC 3986 URL Percent and International Morse • UTF-8 Binary as an educational app profile; ROT13 as a classic convention • Emoji, Kaomoji, Leetspeak, and your own Personal Code for expression CREATE AND LEARN IN THE APP • Convert text with one clear direction-and-codec flow • Copy, share, or save a result; revisit favorites and recent history • Learn all 12 formats with specification sources, canonical examples, practice, and quick checks • Create, import, and export custom Emoji mappings and Personal Codebooks PRIVATE BY DESIGN All transformations run on device. No account or Full Access is required. There are no ads, analytics, or subscriptions. The keyboard has no network access and does not collect what you type. IMPORTANT Encoding is not encryption. Do not use these formats to protect passwords or sensitive information. Byte-based standard formats, Binary, and ROT13 can restore valid text exactly. Morse may normalize accents, case, and spacing. Emoji, Kaomoji, Leetspeak, and Personal Code are approximate or require the same codebook. Third-party keyboards are unavailable in secure text fields and some app-specific fields because of iOS restrictions.

About

SVXPortal

Features
Read full description

SVX Portal is a fast, focused companion for the SvxLink SvxReflector network. Point it at your reflector domain and instantly see who's on the air. LIVE LAST-HEARDS Watch a real-time list of stations as they key up. Active talkers are highlighted with a live timer; past stations show how long ago they were last heard. LISTEN IN Tap a talkgroup to listen to live, low-latency Opus audio — one talkgroup at a time. The compact, sliding Listen bar stays out of the way so the last-heards list keeps centre stage. Switch on background listening to keep audio playing when you change apps or lock the screen. MAP See repeaters and hotspots on a clean map, colour-coded by status — online, transmitting, hotspot, or offline. Tap a station for its details (TX/RX, CTCSS, location) and centre the map on your own location with one tap. Overlapping stations fan out so nothing stays hidden. SIMPLE SETUP Everything is driven by a single reflector domain. Talkgroup names are fetched automatically and the audio stream is configured for you — no accounts, no clutter. MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE • iPhone and iPad • Choose your orientation: Auto, Portrait, or Landscape • Keep-screen-on option for the shack or mobile SVX Portal is built for licensed amateur radio operators using SvxLink-based reflector networks. It's a receive-and-monitor companion — listen, watch, and explore your network at a glance.
