What is Criptext?
Finally, an email service that's built around your privacy. Get your @criptext.com email address and see what it's like to have peace of mind and privacy in every email you send.
Features:
+End-to-end Encryption: Criptext uses the open source Signal Protocol library to encrypt your emails. Your emails are locked with a unique key that‘s generated and stored on your device alone, which means only you and your intended recipient can read the emails you send.
+No data collection: unlike every other email service out there, Criptext doesn't store your emails in its servers. Instead, your entire inbox is stored exclusively on your device.
+Open Source: our source code is open for everyone to see that Criptext actually works the way it's advertised. You don't have to trust us, you can verify for yourself: https://github.com/Criptext
+Easy to use: our app is designed to work as simple as any other email app — so much so, you'll forget how secure it is.
Get Criptext and see how easy it is to email with more security and privacy!

Comments and Reviews
From using Criptext for the past 6 months now, I've come to consider it one of the best open source, security and privacy minded email application out there. I also use other open source privacy minded email, but criptext is quickly becoming my favorite. Their UX design is well thought through, and this gives it such a solid look and feel. Furthermore that fact that your email is not stored in any 3rd-party server is such a big plus!
HI Jerry.
@uuu who said they were based in Switzerland? But you're right, their terms and conditions state "The Service is controlled and offered by Company from its facilities in the United States of America."
Oh dear:
"Mayer Mizrachi has been associated with one company, according to public records. The company was incorporated in Florida seven years ago and is no longer active."

buggy
expect errors preventing signing up
Can't signup for new user.... Seems it is nearing its lifetime
App is great, but signups are suspended for now.
Only front-end is open-source ? https://github.com/Criptext/Criptext-Email-React-Client/issues/1511
As a non-techie person who wanted an email provider that was anonymous and private Criptext did it all. E2E. Stored locally. Open source. Free. Custom domains!
My one issue with Criptext is this: running Windows 10, the desktop app crashes if loading more than one email or if I stress the app a little. This is a real deal-breaker for me, but it may work fine on your machine. Criptext is still in beta and I'm hoping they can resolve this error quickly. Until then, I'll have to switch to something like tutanota, or msgsafe.io.
Been evaluating alternativeTo Gmail. Used protonmail for a bit, but was not totally comfortable, which has opensourced only part of their UI (They are not an opensource product).
Criptext looks promising so far. Been using it for the last 2 months, and migrating all banking/finance apps to this email.
Still using gmail for login to third party apps though.
