What it does
iPGMail is an iOS and iPadOS OpenPGP app for composing encrypted mail, decrypting received messages and managing keys on-device. The vendor offers it as a one-time purchase.
iPGMail works beside the mail app already on an iPhone or iPad. Its documented workflow is:
- Generate a key on the device or import an existing one.
- Obtain the recipient’s public key.
- Compose and encrypt in iPGMail, then send through the usual mail app.
Incoming PGP mail can be shared into iPGMail for decryption. File encryption is available too, which is useful when a document needs protection before it is attached or placed in storage. The vendor documents interoperability with other OpenPGP tools; a particular exchange still depends on compatible keys and formats.
Strengths
- Keys can be generated or imported on the device.
- Encryption can precede sending through an existing mail app.
- File encryption is available alongside email.
Best for
- iPhone and iPad users who need a separate OpenPGP tool
