New features and improvements, release by release.

Encloq0.1.3

Latest release

Smoother conversations, details on demand in Files and dozens of fixes throughout the app.

  • Smoother conversations

    Conversations glide into place when you pin them or a message arrives, long messages fold behind Show more, and pictures you send appear in your message at once.

  • Details when you want them

    In Files a click selects and a double-click opens. The ⓘ button shows details beside your files, and they stay open while you browse. The toolbar is tidier, and filtering by a person also marks the files you shared with them.

  • Never miss an update

    After an update a short note links to what's new, Encloq tells you when a new version is ready, and messages send right away without reloading.

  • Natural on phones

    Lists give a gentle bounce at their edges, a swipe down tucks the keyboard away, and search and transfers open over the screen you are on.

  • Easier sign-in

    Password managers now save your Encloq password, a code you paste fills all six boxes, and Enter continues wherever you type a password.

  • Clearer plans

    Yearly billing shows what you save each year, and you can change your plan while a cancellation is pending.

Also improved

  • Encloq now removes metadata from far more PDFs, including those from Apple apps, Illustrator and Acrobat.
  • Version history stays complete when you save files to your archive.
  • Previews open faster and fit the screen on phones.
  • Videos that were missing a thumbnail now get one.
  • Voice messages play on the first tap.
  • Messages you send in quick succession keep their order on screen.
  • On phones, conversations keep their layout while the keyboard is open.
  • On phones, Settings start with search, your account and your plan, and every page ends above the tab bar.
  • Search is more precise: date filters count back from today, results from the trash are labelled, and German filter words work without umlauts.
  • The Security page no longer jumps while your score loads.
  • Menus, forms and the tour work better with a keyboard and screen readers.

Encloq0.1.2

A guided tour, thumbnails everywhere and more ways to sign in.

  • A guided tour

    A short tour plays through a sample workspace inside the app and shows conversations, files, versions and signing. Start it again any time from the account menu.

  • Thumbnails

    Pictures, videos, PDFs and text files show thumbnails in your files, and conversations show pictures, videos and PDF pages right in the chat.

  • Passwords and recovery

    Add a password beside your passkeys, secured with an authenticator app. After an email recovery, copy your key from a passkey or password that still has it.

  • Files by person

    See every file you exchanged with a contact, and narrow your search to them.

  • Install guides

    Step-by-step guides for each browser, with one-tap install where the browser offers it.

  • Made for tablets

    On tablets, a slim icon rail and a compact conversation header leave more room for your work.

Also improved

  • Voice messages wait in the composer and are sent in order with the rest of your message.
  • Sensitive account changes wait for a short security delay after a new sign-in.
  • More hidden metadata is removed from PDFs when you upload them.
  • RAW photos show their details and previews.
  • Pinned conversations keep the order you pinned them in.
  • The trash shows how long files stay before they are deleted.

Encloq0.1.1

A quick follow-up that makes signing up with a passkey dependable.

Improved

  • Creating a passkey when you sign up works reliably, also on more Windows computers.

Encloq0.1.0

The first release: files and conversations in one encrypted place, opened with a passkey.

  • Files and conversations together

    Send files in conversations and keep them in your archive, encrypted on your device before they leave it.

  • Sign in with a passkey

    A passkey signs you in and unlocks your data. The key stays on your devices.

  • Invite guests

    Invite people who are not on Encloq yet with a secure link and an access key you share separately.

  • Versions and signatures

    Keep every version of a file, and have documents signed in the order you choose.

  • Scan paper

    Turn paper into a PDF with your camera, right in a conversation.
