Updates instantly as you type
02 / Best for
- Sharing a sensitive note or password over an untrusted channel.
- Storing a piece of text encrypted in a notes app or file.
- Quickly checking that an encrypted value decrypts with the expected passphrase.
03 / Why here
- Encrypts using AES-GCM with a PBKDF2-derived key, entirely in your browser.
- Auto-detects whether the input is plain text or previously encrypted text.
- The passphrase and plain text are never sent anywhere.
04 / Keep in mind
- If you lose the passphrase, the encrypted text cannot be recovered. There is no backdoor.
