About

Aires Seal

Features
Read full description

Aires Seal adds real encryption to the email you already use. Connect any mailbox that speaks IMAP - your company server, your web host, or your self-hosted mail - with your email and password. Your mail stays where it is. Aires Seal doesn't move it, doesn't copy it to a new account, and doesn't ask you to change addresses. What it adds is one thing your mailbox never had: encryption that lives on your phone. SEAL A MESSAGE Pick any message and seal it. Aires Seal encrypts it with a key generated and kept only on your device, then replaces the stored copy with standard PGP ciphertext. Your mail server holds gibberish. Unseal any time to read it again. THE KEYS NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE Encryption keys are created on-device and stay there. Not on our servers, not on your provider's. Back them up yourself, to your own password manager, whenever you like. YOUR MAILBOX, UNCHANGED Read, search, reply, move and organize your real mailbox natively. Sealing is something you choose, message by message - nothing is encrypted or moved without you. WORKS WITH MOST MAIL HOSTS Any server that supports IMAP and SMTP. (Gmail and Outlook sign-in are coming in a later update.) Aires Seal is for people who want to keep their existing email and finally be able to lock a message so only they can open it.
