Quantext: encrypt text on device with AES-256-GCM
Quantext is a local text vault, not a new messenger. Seal a note with AES-256-GCM on your phone and paste the envelope into SMS or email you already use.
Key takeaways
- Quantext seals text with Web Crypto AES-256-GCM on the device.
- It is not a chat app and does not host messages or keys.
- A labeled keyring keeps more than one shared secret on the same phone.
- Free users can manage up to four usable keys; Premium unlocks unlimited keys, ad-free use, and a vault passphrase.
Keep your messenger. Seal the note instead.
Most “secure chat” products ask everyone to install a new app and create accounts. Quantext by Knox Studios is an on-device text encryption vault: type, choose a labeled key, copy the sealed envelope, paste it into the thread you already have.
What you get
- AES-256-GCM via Web Crypto, processed locally before you share.
- Nicknamed keys so multiple shared secrets stay distinguishable.
- No Quantext account and no first-party cloud for the notes themselves.
- A compact dark vault UI rather than a social layout.
Share the envelope and the key separately
Anyone with the matching secret can unlock the text. Quantext does not overpromise anonymity — it is a straightforward clipboard vault. Download it on Google Play.
