# Cryptee

> Encrypted documents, notes and photo storage from Estonia

Cryptee is an end-to-end encrypted service for documents, notes, journals, photos and videos, run by a bootstrapped company in Estonia. Files are encrypted on the device before upload, so the company cannot read them, and an account needs only a username. It runs in the browser and installs as a progressive web app instead of through app stores. Pricing is by storage, in euros, with 100 MB free.

## Key features

- **Encrypted document editor:** Documents, notes and journals are encrypted with AES-256 on your device before they leave it, and only you hold the keys. They sync across your devices in encrypted form.
- **Markdown, math and structure:** The editor takes Markdown and hotkeys, inline code and KaTeX math, checkboxes, tables and inline #hashtags, builds a table of contents, and cross-links documents and attached files.
- **Encrypted photos and videos:** Photo and video storage has albums, hashtags, typo-tolerant search and support for RAW files. Albums can be shared through end-to-end encrypted links.
- **Ghost folders and albums:** Folders and albums can be hidden from the account entirely and brought back only by someone who knows their names.
- **File format support:** It opens and edits DOCX, ODT and PDF files, imports Evernote notes, opens and saves Markdown files and exports documents as PDFs. PDFs and ebooks can sit beside a document.
- **Installable web app:** Cryptee runs in a browser and installs as a progressive web app on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. The installed app also works offline.

## Good for

- Private journals and notes that the provider cannot read
- Keeping documents and a photo library in one encrypted account
- Signing up without giving an email address or phone number

## Worth knowing

- There are no native or app-store apps: it is a progressive web app installed from the browser, and iOS Lockdown Mode has to be turned off for the site.
- The free plan stops at 100 MB; paid plans are sold by storage size and priced only in euros.
- The client apps are open source, but the backend is not published and the service cannot be run on your own server.
