Some things should never live in your text history. Passwords. Social Security numbers. Card numbers. Wi-Fi codes. The recovery phrase for your account. We all end up texting this stuff — and then it sits in a thread forever, on two phones, backed up to two clouds, one screenshot away from the wrong hands. SimplyAuth is built for exactly that moment. Send it encrypted. Watch it vanish. Open a Session with someone, share the sensitive thing, and it's protected end-to-end — encrypted on your device, decrypted only on theirs. Our servers never see the contents. When the Session ends, the message is gone — no history, no backup, no trail. Know who's really on the other end. Before you share a secret, you should know who you're sharing it with. SimplyAuth connections are verified — and when you're on a phone call, both sides can confirm each other with a phrase that rotates every 60 seconds. If the phrases match, it's really them. If they don't, hang up. It's the same idea as a one-time login code, but for people. Safety built in — and always free. Set a check-in, and if you don't confirm you're okay, your trusted contacts are alerted. Set a duress signal that quietly calls for help without tipping off anyone watching. These safety features are never behind a paywall. Privacy by design. - End-to-end encryption — we can't read your messages, even if we wanted to. - Ephemeral by default — sensitive content isn't meant to be kept, so it isn't. - Verified connections — you choose who you can exchange secrets with. - No ads. No data sales. Ever. Simple pricing. One subscription unlocks everything: $0.99/month or $7.99/year, with a 30-day free trial. Safety features stay free for everyone. Stop putting your most sensitive information somewhere it was never safe. Share it the way it should have been shared all along. simplyauth.app
