Features & Capabilities

Mininigma is a complete simulator of an Enigma Machine for your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.

Basically, Enigma was a cipher machine used by the Germans during World War II for the encryption and decryption of secret messages. It looked like an old typewriter with some extra features.

Being fully compatible with the real Enigma means you can also use Mininigma to decode any of the original messages which can be found on Internet.

You can also generate a machine configuration based on a keyword or keyphrase. That means you'll only have to share that keyword to send a message!!

Mininigma can accurately simulate different types of machines: The Enigma I, M3 and M4, Railway, G-312, or Swiss-K, with some others coming in the future. You can read more about these, as always, on the Wikipedia :)

You can actually select between the different machine types and setup them as you would with a real one: choose rotors, configure them, or use a plugboard to switch letters. All at the tip of your finger.

Mininigma supports Copy/Paste to allow you to interact with any other application on your device. You can even copy/paste machine configurations in an encryptable string!!

User Reviews

Reviewers praise Mininigma for its striking visuals, authentic Enigma UI, and rich feature set. It faithfully recreates the machine with many models, rotors, plugboard options, a responsive keyboard, and a backspace, making it both educational and entertaining. Users value the historical context and depth of cryptographic practice, and many note the developer’s responsiveness and regular updates. A common wish is for a spacing/word-separation feature, a usability gap mentioned by several reviews. Overall, it’s a well-made, immersive Enigma simulator with strong presentation, depth, and ongoing support.

Pros

Visually stunning UI with authentic Enigma look, artwork, sound, and animation.
Deep configurability and fidelity: supports many Enigma models, rotors, plugboard options, starting settings, plus features like a responsive keyboard and backspace.
Educational and entertaining: great for learning about cryptography, WWII history, and how the Enigma works.
Fun to use and highly engaging with substantial depth and options.
Active development and responsive support with regular updates and user Q&A

Cons

Lacks spacing/word-separation between letters in messages; users repeatedly request a spacing feature

Recent reviews

After the latest update the audio is not working. Turning it on/off off/on doesn’t fix it.

This is a very polished app with great attention paid to fidelity and authenticity. I like that various versions of the Enigma machines are simulated and explained.
