Cryptext
Cryptext is a text encryption utility for macOS that helps users secure sensitive notes and written content. It employs AES encryption to protect text, offering two different AES methods for encryption and decryption. Passwords are stored securely in the system keychain. The app is designed for users who want a simple, lightweight way to encrypt private notes, documents, or other text without needing a full-featured password manager or security suite.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about whether Cryptext has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The search results mention the app exists but provide no architecture details or recent release information. To determine your path forward before macOS 28 ships in late 2027 (when Rosetta 2 will be removed), contact the developer at rbcafe directly and ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. If the developer is no longer active and no native build is forthcoming, consider alternative text encryption apps that do run natively on Apple Silicon — options include Vaults (a note-encryption app), Elpass (a password and secrets manager with native support), or even the built-in encryption features in Notes or a dedicated password manager like 1Password, which all have confirmed native Apple Silicon builds and active development.
