Key Mapper vs KryptEY
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Key Mapper
Make custom macros on your keyboard or gamepad, make on-screen buttons in any app, and unlock new functionality from your volume buttons! Key Mapper supports a huge variety of buttons and keys*: - ALL your phone buttons (volume AND side key) - Game controllers (D-pad, ABXY, and most others) - Keyboards - Headsets and headphones - Fingerprint sensor Not enough keys? Design your own on-screen button layouts and remap those just like real keys! What shortcuts can I make? -------------------------- With over 100 individual actions, the sky is the limit. Build complex macros with screen taps and gestures, keyboard inputs, open apps, control media, and even send intents directly to other apps. How much control do I have? --------------------------- TRIGGERS: You decide how to trigger a key map. Long press, double press, press as many times as you like! Combine keys on different devices, and even include your on-screen buttons. ACTIONS: Design specific macros for what you want to do. Combine over 100 actions, and choose the delay between each one. Set repeating actions to automate and speed up slow tasks. CONSTRAINTS: You choose when key maps should run and when they shouldn't. Only need it in one specific app? Or when media is playing? On your lockscreen? Constrain your key maps for maximum control. * Most devices are already supported, with new devices being added over time. Let us know if it's not working for you and we can prioritize your device. Not currently supported: - Mouse buttons - Joysticks and triggers (LT,RT) on gamepads Security and accessibility services --------------------------- This app includes our Key Mapper Accessibility service that uses the Android Accessibility API to detect the app in focus and adapt key presses to user-defined key maps. It is also used to draw assistive Floating Button overlays on top of other apps. By accepting to run the accessibility service, the app will monitor key strokes while you're using your device. It will also emulate swipes and pinches if you are using those actions in the app. It will NOT collect any user data or connect to the internet to send any data anywhere. Our accessibility service is only triggered by the user when pressing a physical key on their device. It can be turned off any time by the user in the system accessibility settings.

KryptEY
Communicate securely and independent, regardless of the legal situation or whether messengers use E2EE. No server needed. #ChatKontrolleStoppen Why KryptEY? Breaking of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) by laws such as the planned EU chat control is an ongoing issue. Content in messengers that use E2EE, such as Whatsapp or Signal, could thus be monitored by third parties. E2EE is often, but not always, standard in messengers. There are proven methods for E2EE such as PGP. However, these methods are sometimes cumbersomely integrated and require a lot of effort to use. KryptEY is an Android keyboard that implements the Signal protocol. The keyboard works messenger-independently and both the X3DH Key Agreement Protocol and the Double Ratchet Algorithm work without a server, thus it enables a highly independent use of the protocol. Features Based upon Simple Keyboard ( https://github.com/rkkr/simple-keyboard ), KryptEY adds a view above the Keyboard for the E2EE functionality. * use E2EE through Signal Protocol in any messenger * encryption/decryption of messages * enter message through separate text field in keyboard * use clipboard to read messages * manage contacts in own contact list in keyboard * message log to view sent/received messages * send messages as plain JSON (raw mode) or hidden in a decoy text (fairytale mode) * verification of E2EE functionality via fingerprint * Q&A View for questions * dark & light theme See https://github.com/amnesica/KryptEY/blob/master/KRYPTEY.md for further information on how KryptEY is working. Security The existing security properties for the Signal Protocol are also valid for the keyboard. Limitations The keyboard was designed as a POC and only allows 1-to-1 conversations. However, the application can also be used in a group chat to a limited extent. Here, a message can be directed to a specific chat partner and not to all people. Other participants of the group chat cannot decrypt the message. Text messages in Telegram are getting copied as HTML and not as plain text. When decoding the message with the fairytale mode the copied message is compromised and can't be read properly. Therefore, it can't be decoded at all. However, the raw mode works properly. When using KryptEY with Telegram we recommend the raw mode. Some messengers like Threema only allows up to 3500 bytes per message. Therefore, different character input limitations apply. To stay under the 3500 bytes limit, only 500 characters are allowed for raw and fairytale mode. For convenience these limitation applies for all messengers. Demo For a demonstration on how KryptEY is used see https://github.com/amnesica/KryptEY/tree/master#demo KryptEY was created by mellitopia and amnesica.
