Rune Scribe · iPhone, iPad & Mac
The decoder ring grew up.
Turn any message into a string of runes, share the cipher once, and give your friends a mystery only their copy of Rune Scribe can reveal.
No accounts · No Rune Scribe server · Ciphers stay on your device
One decoder. Endless stories.
Turn a message into a mystery—and back again.
Rune Scribe makes encrypted messages feel like artifacts from another world. Build a scavenger hunt, hide a tabletop clue, send an in-character transmission, or make an ordinary note feel delightfully secret.
A three-step tutorial
Share. Scribe. Reveal.
The cipher is the decoder. Share it with the people in your game or conversation, then send the runes anywhere ordinary text can travel.
Step 1
Share the decoder once
Open your cipher library and share a cipher by QR code or decoder file. Your friend reviews and confirms the import.
Step 2
Scribe your message
Type or paste your words, choose the matching cipher, and tap Rune Scribe. The encrypted result appears as copyable runes.
Step 3
Reveal it together
Your friend brings the runes into Rune Scribe. If the matching cipher is in their library, the original message is revealed.
The fun starts after “send”
What will you create?
One app can become a prop, a puzzle mechanic, a storytelling device, or a private ritual between friends.
Trail maps & treasure hunts
Hide the next destination in a message the team must reveal.
Tabletop adventures
Deliver secret orders, side quests, and in-world artifacts.
ARG transmissions
Make a broadcast feel discovered instead of delivered.
Secret notes
Turn an everyday message into a small moment of ceremony.
Party & classroom hunts
Build cooperative clues for birthdays, clubs, and lessons.
More than a rune font
Encrypted first. Runes second.
Rune Scribe does not simply swap letters for symbols. It encrypts the message with AES-256-GCM, packages the encrypted result, and only then renders that data as runes. The runes are made to travel; the matching cipher is what reveals them.
Rune Scribe is a creative personal-privacy tool, not a replacement for a vetted secure messenger. Share each cipher only with the people meant to use it.
On device
