If encrypting a file the encrypted file can be stored or sent in the full knowledge that it’s contents are not visible to anyone without access to R10Cipher and the Shared Secret.
Decryption can be carried out just by double clicking the encrypted file and entering the Shared Secret. R10Cipher supports batch encryption by ‘drag and drop’ to make encryption fast and painless, even when dealing with dozens of files. As R10Cipher does not require installation you can, for example, copy the Mac, Windows and Linux versions of R10Cipher to a USB drive along with your encrypted documents and files. Your documents and files are secure, but available *whenever* and *wherever* you require them.
R10Cipher is primarily designed to enable the secure exchange of information between one or more individuals. As a peer to peer encryption tool R10Cipher excels.

The app also captures improvement in users’ fitness levels by estimating their VO2Max, gold standard measure of fitness.
Other motivational features include being able to train for an event (like a 5k run or Marathon) and promote a charitable cause – while keeping friends and supporters informed. An intuitive user interface, rich graphical displays and 3D Motion Sensor technology that automatically tracks calories, steps, distance, speed or pace, make this a must-have application for users at any level of fitness.
