- 📦iPGMail updated to version 2026.45.2Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight support
* Ask Siri: "Decrypt clipboard with iPGMail" opens the Decode tab and decrypts the message you copied. "Encrypt clipboard for NAME with iPGMail" encrypts the copied text for that person and puts the encrypted message back on the clipboard.
* New Shortcuts actions: Encrypt Text, Encrypt File, Decrypt Text and Decrypt File. Encrypt for one or more keys, sign with your own key, or require a valid signature before anything is decrypted. Use them in your own shortcuts and automations.
* Encrypted messages and files you create from Siri or Shortcuts are also saved in the Files tab.
* Find your keys in Spotlight by name, email, key ID or fingerprint, and tap one to open it in iPGMail (iOS 18 or later). Or say "Show key in iPGMail".
* Your app lock still applies: when iPGMail is locked with a PIN or Face ID, it asks you to unlock before decrypting or showing a key, and it asks for a key's password when needed.
* Prefer to keep key names out of Spotlight and Siri? Turn off "Show Keys in Spotlight & Siri" in Settings.
* Siri phrases and actions are available in English, German and Spanish.… more - 📈iPGMail entered the top 10Top Paid · Utilities · AE

iPGMail downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
48/100
faster than 47% of Utilities apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
What users say about iPGMail
From the 50 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users appreciate the app's rare status as a maintained iOS PGP solution and responsive developer support. However, significant complaints focus on stability issues, crashes during key imports, and confusing user interface workflows.
Mixed but leaning positive (60% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for being easy to use, and being useful. The main complaints are about crashes and bugs, and missing features or content.
What people like
- Ease of use: “All I can say is wow, easy peasy”
- Useful: “Works well, UI is a bit dated”
- Crashes & bugs: “The developer answers bug reports same day or next day”
- Design: “Maybe you need a modern UI?”
Common complaints
- Crashes & bugs: “Crashes easily, on many activities”
- Features & content: “This needs a ‘delete all’ button and an option to automatically delete local files after a set time”
- Price & subscription
- Updates: “Author is aware if this but update(s) have not fixed it”
About iPGMail
iPGMail is a complete OpenPGP client for iPhone and iPad. Encrypt, decrypt, and digitally sign email and files using the same RFC 9580 / RFC 4880 standard you already use with GnuPG, Mailvelope, Thunderbird, ProtonMail's PGP exports, and any other OpenPGP-compatible tool.
Bring your existing PGP identity to iOS or generate a new one in the app. Your private keys are stored in a private local database with the highest data-protection class and are unlocked only by Touch ID or Face ID. All cryptography runs locally — your keys and message content never leave your device.
CRYPTO & INTEROPERABILITY
• OpenPGP v4 and v6 (RFC 9580 / RFC 4880, RFC 6637) — fully interoperable with GnuPG, Mailvelope, Thunderbird, ProtonMail PGP exports, and any other compliant tool
• Post-quantum encryption (RFC 9980): import, encrypt to, and verify signatures from hybrid ML-KEM + ML-DSA keys, which pair NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms with proven elliptic-curve cryptography
• Optional post-quantum key generation: create v6 ML-DSA-65 + ML-KEM-768 or ML-DSA-87 + ML-KEM-1024 keys (turn on in Settings › Advanced)
• Public-key algorithms: RSA, DSA, ECDSA, EdDSA (Ed25519, Ed448), ECDH (Curve25519, X448), ML-KEM, ML-DSA
• Symmetric ciphers including AES-256, with modern AEAD encryption on PGP v6 (SEIPDv2) messages
• PGP/MIME for encrypted email; standard ASCII-armored output for any plain-text channel
• Detached and inline signatures; sign-only mode for authenticated but readable messages
• Symmetric (password-based) file encryption
• Encrypt to multiple recipients in a single message, mixing classic and post-quantum keys
EMAIL
• Send encrypted email directly from the app via SMTP — works with iCloud, Gmail, Outlook / Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, Fastmail, GMX, Yandex, mail.ru, QQ, Comcast, and any custom SMTP server
• Google OAuth2 for password-free Gmail authentication
• Reply with quoted plaintext ("> " prefix) so encrypted threads read like normal email
• Or hand off to your default mail app via the standard iOS share sheet
KEY MANAGEMENT
• Generate new keypairs in-app with strong defaults (ECC or RSA)
• Import existing public and private keys (ASCII-armored or binary)
• Search SKS / hkps key servers and Keybase to find recipient keys
• Attach your public key to outgoing messages so recipients can import it directly
• Inspect key flags, expiration, signatures, and user IDs
FILES
• Quick Look preview of decrypted content in-place
• Receive encrypted attachments directly from iOS Mail.app — no copy/paste required
• Read .pgp, .gpg, .asc, and .sig files from anywhere via the Files app, AirDrop, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or the system clipboard
• Open URL handler for the x-ipgmail:// scheme so other apps can hand work to iPGMail
iPAD-OPTIMIZED
• Sidebar navigation and full keyboard shortcut support
• Optimized layouts for Split View and Stage Manager
PRIVACY POSTURE
• Private keys are stored locally in a secured private database and unlocked only by Touch ID / Face ID
• All
