Private contacts, encrypted and apart from the address book

Some people should not be in the address book that every app with Contacts access can read. Kryptis keeps them in the vault, encrypted, with copy or move from Apple Contacts.

What it does

Create a contact in Kryptis or import one from Apple Contacts. Copy keeps the original in Contacts; Move saves it in Kryptis and removes the Apple original after you confirm. Entries are encrypted like everything else in the vault and included in encrypted backups.

Why it matters

Apple Contacts syncs to iCloud, appears in Messages and Phone suggestions, and is readable by any app you have granted Contacts access. A person in Kryptis is in none of those places.
