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
