## Description

PGP Andy is focused on maintaining conversations in modern chat threads like Messenger or Signal would, but offline. It&#39;s also heavily focused on exposing the PGP protocol fully so that nothing is hidden, and so you have full control and insight of your keys and other&#39;s.<br><br>Made with Tor markets in mind and pairing perfectly with Tor for Android - I have made the functions easy to move content around between apps and have tried to use alerts to keep you safe regarding keyboards that expose typed information, as well as file storage implications.<br><br>PGP Andy stores everything in original encrypted state with your privacy and security in mind.<br><br>• Full OpenPGP support (not a stripped-down wrapper)<br>• Proper key management (subkeys, import/export, interoperability with tools like GnuPG/Kleopatra)<br>• Designed for offline use - your keys stay on your device, PGP Andy prepares and decodes messages, it does not transport them.<br>• Built around real workflows like identity verification and message signing<br>• Supports Web of Trust concepts instead of hiding them<br>• Securely stores messaging history in modern chat threads<br>• Keeps you alert on best practices using neatly organized disclaimers in the right moments<br>• Incredible encrypted file/image handling and sharing<br>• Private notepad for storing sensitive personal memos<br>• Many common locales supported<br>• SSH subkey exports in PuTTY .ppk and OpenSSH formats! No other PGP implementation does this. Manage your personal ssh keys straight from your PGP identity!<br><br>No accounts. No servers. No “trust us.”. This app is hardcore offline. Will never be online. It is a tool built to outlast your identity and for only a one-time purchase.
