5. Share the encrypted text safely anywhere
6. Recipients decrypt using the same passphrase
Perfect For:
- Secure messaging on social media

- Secure note-taking and document sharing
- Adding privacy layer to any online communication
Privacy First:
- Zero data collection
- No internet connection required
- All encryption happens locally
- Your passphrases never leave your device
- Open-source cryptographic standards
π‘ Pro Tip: Use the built-in Quick Encrypt feature for sites that don't support right-click replacement like Facebook and Instagram!
Known Issues:
Rich Text Editors (Facebook, Outlook, etc.):
Some modern websites use complex rich text editors that may not support automatic text replacement:
Facebook Posts/Comments - Text replacement may not work in the status update box or comment fields. Use the popup's "Quick Encrypt" feature instead.
Outlook Web - Rich text email composition may not support direct replacement. Copy encrypted text from the popup and paste manually.
Discord/Slack - Some formatting-enabled chat boxes may clear the encrypted text. The popup method works reliably.
WhatsApp Web - Message input field may not support replacement on some browsers.
Workaround:
Type your message in the extension popup's Quick Encrypt box
Click encrypt (auto-copied to clipboard if enabled)
Paste the encrypted text manually into the problematic field
Why this happens: These sites use contenteditable divs with complex JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue) that can override or reset content changes made by browser extensions.
Alternative: The extension always saves your last encrypted text in the popup for easy copying, making it simple to work around these limitations.
