Nygma · Free on Google Play · iPhone coming soon
Your photos and chats. Locked. Only you hold the keys.
Private drives for your photos and papers, and a chat that never asks for your phone number. Everything is locked on your phone before it leaves it, so nobody else can open it — not hackers, not us, not even with a court order.
- Military-grade AES-256 encryption, file names included
- Chat with no phone number, no contact upload and no key server
- Advanced protection for the moment someone makes you open it
4 GB free, up to 10 GB with friends. No card. No phone number.
Scan with your phone.
See it on your phone
Everything private, in one app.
Your drives, your photos and your chats, locked on the phone in your hand. The same pictures you’ll find on Google Play and the App Store.
Your camera roll, for your eyes only.
Keep the photos you’d never put in a normal cloud. Add them straight from your phone: they’re locked before they upload and decrypted only on your screen, at full size.
- Thumbnails and previews are encrypted too
- Folders for trips, pets, family — whatever you like
- Videos up to 2 GB play right in the app
Nygma Chat · free on every plan
Chat that stays between the two of you.
Most messengers find your friends through your phone number and hand out everyone’s keys from their servers. Nygma does neither. You meet, one of you scans the other’s code, and the keys are agreed phone to phone.
Share a file, not your keys.
Send a link to a photo, a video, a document or a whole folder. Add a password, let it run out after a day or a month, and switch it off whenever you like.
- View only or download
- Expires after 1, 7 or 30 days — or never
- They need no account: it opens in their browser
Open in a second. Locked the rest of the time.
Set a six-digit PIN for a drive on your phone. It locks again when you leave the app; five wrong guesses pause the PIN, and only the full password opens the drive.
- Each phone has its own PIN
- Choose when drives lock: right away, after 1 or 5 minutes
- Lock all your drives with one tap
Advanced protection
If someone makes you open it, they see something else.
Give your drive a second password. If you’re ever forced to unlock it — at a border, in a relationship, anywhere — that password opens a separate everyday drive instead, and your duress PIN opens Chats as an empty, never-used app.
How Advanced protection works
Professional and Power plans. Advanced protection is a technical feature, not legal advice: the law in some countries requires you to disclose passwords. Know your local law.
Don’t take our word for it.
Open any file’s menu and see exactly what our servers hold for it: scrambled bytes, next to the real thing on your screen. Encryption you can check for yourself.
- Works on every file, on every plan
- Shows the stored data, byte for byte
- Nothing readable ever leaves your phone
Your drives, in any browser.
Sign in at nygma.genie9.com with the same email and unlock your drives with the same password. Great for big uploads and documents. Chat stays on your phone, where its keys are.
- Nothing to install
- PDFs open right inside the drive
- The same encryption as the app
Security, in plain words
Private by design. Not by promise.
We built Nygma so that we can’t read your files or your chats, even if we wanted to. Here is what that means day to day.
Locked before upload
Your files, their names, previews and details are encrypted on your phone. We only ever store scrambled data.
We can’t look
We never have your drive password, so we can’t open your files. Not for a hacker, not for us, not even with a court order.
Your recovery key
Every drive comes with 24 words that reset its password. Nobody else has them, so nobody else can get in.
Locks itself
Drives lock when you leave the app and after a quiet spell. A six-digit Quick PIN opens them again.
Two-step sign-in
Add an authenticator app, and a code from your phone is needed on top of the one we email you.
Trash for 30 days
Deleted something by mistake? It waits in Trash for 30 days before it is gone for good.
Plans
Start free. Grow when you need to.

Questions
Good to know.
Is there a phone app?
Yes. Nygma is on Google Play for Android phones (Android 7.0 or later), and the iPhone app is coming soon to the App Store. Both have your drives, Quick PIN, Advanced protection and Nygma Chat. Your drives also open in any browser at nygma.genie9.com.
Can Genie9 see my files or messages?
No. Files are encrypted on your phone with a key made from your drive password, and that password never reaches us. Chats are end-to-end encrypted with keys our servers never hold. We only hold scrambled data: we can’t open it, and we couldn’t hand it over readable even with a court order.
Why doesn’t Nygma Chat ask for my phone number?
Because a phone number is a label that follows you everywhere. In Nygma you invite people yourself, with a code you show in person or a one-time link, so there is no number to trace and no contact list for us to keep.
What happens if I forget my drive password?
Use the drive’s 24-word recovery key to set a new password. Keep it safe: if both the password and the recovery key are lost, nobody — including us — can open that drive again.
What is Advanced protection?
A second password for your drive. If someone ever forces you to open it, that password opens a separate everyday drive instead, and a duress PIN opens Chats as an empty, never-used app. It comes with the Professional and Power plans.
Is Nygma really free?
Yes. Free gives you 4 GB and one drive for as long as you like, with no card, and Nygma Chat on every plan. Invite friends and you both get 500 MB more each time, up to 10 GB.
Your private space is one minute away.
Get the app, make a drive, and put the first thing you’d hate to lose inside.
4 GB free, up to 10 GB with friends. No card. No phone number.
