MsgSecret helps you keep the meaning of your messages off the network in plain form. You set up your cipher, encrypt on device, and share ciphertext through any app or pasteboard. Service providers and platforms see letters and symbols, not your original words, which reduces what they can infer from the payload alone. MsgSecret is built for encoding and decoding in one place. You choose a classic cipher, run encrypt or decrypt, and copy the result to share or store. Separate fields for plaintext and ciphertext make it easy to work without overwriting your last step. Several methods are available with different complexity; the app explains each one so you can pick what fits your situation. To get started quickly, a tutorial runs the first time you open the app and stays available from the menu. You can revisit cipher details anytime under About ciphers. Each transformation uses a small amount of credits; you can earn more credits when you need them by watching an optional rewarded ad. Features * Hide your message from all message service providers * Encode and decode text with multiple classic cipher methods * Keep encrypt and decrypt buffers separate so you can switch tasks safely * Copy ciphertext and paste into Email, SMS, chat, and social apps, or the reverse for decoding * Built-in tutorial and cipher reference so setup stays straightforward * Optional rewarded videos to earn credits when your balance runs low * Designed for iPhone and iPad with a focused dark interface

About

Talk Morse

Features
Read full description

Morse code encoding, decoding and learning morse application. This application enables you to generate and decode Morse code through both audio and visual signals, with adjustable transmission speeds. Designed for flexibility and experimentation, it supports communication using sound (via speaker and microphone) as well as light (via camera flash and camera input). On the sending side, you can convert any text you type into Morse code and transmit it either as audio signals through your device’s speaker or as visual flashes using your camera light. On the receiving side, the app listens for incoming Morse code signals through the microphone or detects light-based signals using the camera. Messages are decoded and displayed in real time, providing immediate feedback. In addition, the app now includes a dedicated learning section where you can practice and improve your Morse code skills. This training page allows you to learn at different speeds (WPM – words per minute), making it suitable for both beginners and more advanced users. 73
