Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
iPad support. PGPony now runs on iPad, with a layout built for the larger screen. Large files, end to end. You can now encrypt, sign, and decrypt files of any size, not just under 64 MB. It works with an RSA hardware key over NFC or USB-C, with a live progress bar and a cancel button the whole way through. Signing fixes. Signing with a passphrase-protected RSA key works now instead of failing, whether the key was imported from GnuPG or generated in PGPony. A wrong passphrase tells you so, rather than a generic error. Hardware keys. Clearer guidance throughout for NFC and USB-C keys, including when a key can only be plugged in. Plus a round of smaller fixes to the keyboard, buttons, and cancel behavior from tester reports. Thanks to everyone who wrote in with detail.

About
PGPony makes PGP encryption easy, private, and powerful, and every feature is free. Generate keys, encrypt to people or to a password, sign and verify, back up your whole keyring, and revoke compromised keys, all from your iPhone and iPad, in seven languages. New in 8.1.0: iPad support and large files. Encrypt, sign, and decrypt files of any size, including with an RSA hardware key over NFC or USB-C, with progress and cancel. Signing with a passphrase-protected RSA key is fixed. Post-quantum encryption pairs Ed25519 with ML-KEM-768, in RFC 9580 (v6) and LibrePGP versions, private even against future quantum computers. HARDWARE SECURITY KEYS Keep your private key on dedicated hardware, not your phone. Generate a key pair on the card over NFC, or add an existing card with a tap. Sign, decrypt, and encrypt-and-sign in one step, with RSA and ECC (Ed25519/Curve25519) keys, on YubiKey, Token2, and others. Full card admin: change or unblock PINs, factory-reset, and view Card Details. ENCRYPT, DECRYPT & SIGN Encrypt messages and files of any size to any public key, or to a password with no keys at all, readable by gpg -c and back. Decrypt with a private key, a hardware key, or a passphrase, now close to instant even with a large keyring. Sign without encrypting, including detached signatures and large files, and verify a downloaded file against its signature. A signature banner shows who signed on every decrypt, for every key type including RSA. AEAD (OCB) encryption. GENERATE & MANAGE KEYS Create keys on a card or in-app: post-quantum Ed25519 + ML-KEM-768 in v6 and LibrePGP, v6 Ed25519, classic Ed25519 + Cv25519, or RSA 2048/4096. Full OpenPGP v6 (RFC 9580), bit-for-bit interoperable with Sequoia PGP and GnuPG. A built-in helper helps you pick the right type. Import from files, clipboard, QR codes, or keyservers, including GnuPG v4 and v6 keys. Make revocation certificates and export private keys (GnuPG-compatible). BACK UP & RESTORE Save your whole keyring, secret keys included, as one encrypted file. A single backup code opens it, and the same file restores onto another iPhone or Android. The file stays with you, never on anyone's server. KEYSERVERS Look up a recipient by email through Web Key Directory, then keys.openpgp.org. Publish to several servers at once, and choose which PGPony searches and publishes to. Route lookups through Tor or a SOCKS proxy, and let background refresh catch revocations. PGPony warns when a server may not accept a newer key type. PASSWORD STORE Open a pass (password-store) folder and browse its entries. Decrypt with a software or hardware key, then copy the password through an auto-clearing clipboard. otpauth URIs are shown, and plaintext is dropped the moment you leave the entry. SHARE SHEET EXTENSION Encrypt or decrypt text, encrypt a file, or sign a file in any app: Safari, Files, Notes, Mail. Messages for your hardware key hand off to the app. SECURITY FIRST Face ID / Touch ID lock with auto-lock. Software keys live in the iOS Keychain (hardware-backed), or on an NFC card instead. iCloud Keychain sync, key expiration reminders, and Contacts auto-matching by email. No analytics, tracking, accounts, or sign-up. Your private keys never leave your device, and with a hardware key they never leave the card. SEVEN LANGUAGES English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese. ALL FEATURES INCLUDED Everything is free with no restrictions: Post-quantum keys, on-card generation, and hardware keys (RSA and ECC) Cross-platform encrypted backup and restore, verified signatures including RSA Full OpenPGP v6 (RFC 9580), password encryption (gpg -c), multi-keyserver publishing with Tor Detached signing, Password Store, QR exchange, GnuPG import, open-source core, dark mode Built by an indie developer who cares about your privacy. Your keys, your messages, your data, always yours. Terms of Use (EULA): https://pgpony.app/eula.html Privacy Policy: https://pgpony.app/privacy.html
