Cryptomator 2 — Open-Source encryption fully integrated into the files app
With Cryptomator 2.0, you get an app that is completely integrated into the Files app of iOS. This means that your vaults are directly accessible from there. E.g., you can now save and edit a Word document directly in an encrypted vault via the Files app.

@bogomep If you're interested in the nitty-gritty technical details, you can check out the security architecture (https://docs.cryptomator.org/en/...) and security target (https://docs.cryptomator.org/en/...).
It's basically client-side encryption using AES. The encrypted key is also stored in the cloud storage (which makes it very easy-to-use in multi-platform scenarios) and it's protected using a KDF (in our case scrypt).
We've been waiting for this moment for a long time now and it has finally arrived. Last year in April, we started to rebuild our iOS app from scratch. That's why we decided to develop Cryptomator 2.0 in Swift. This will make it easier for us to maintain the app in the future.
Not only is the iOS app of Cryptomator now open-source instead of open-core but it's also available for free for the first time. The new app is available as a freemium app. This means that in the free version, you can access your vaults in read-only mode. If you only need quick access to your vaults on the go, which were created with the Desktop application, then this is the perfect companion app. If you don't want to miss out on write access to your vaults, you can unlock the full version via a one-time purchase.
We are very proud that the whole Cryptomator family is now fully open-source and we are very grateful for all the support we're getting from our community. Happy holidays everyone!
Encryption is very worthwhile and integration with Files is an awesome achievement. I love it.
