# Products and applications

Cifer is both a network and an ecosystem of applications. The network provides shared privacy infrastructure; the applications turn that infrastructure into useful experiences.

### Cifer Network

[cifer.network](https://cifer.network) is the ecosystem entry point and the planned home of network services, marketplace functions, and Ghost utility experiences.

The network is designed to be fully decentralized. Its control plane records authorization state, membership, and verifiable events rather than relying on one private database as the sole source of truth.

### Cifer Security for macOS

[Cifer Security](https://cifer-security.com) is the correct official link for the macOS application. It gives users a practical interface for protecting, encrypting, decrypting, and sharing sensitive files.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Use cifer-security.com whenever communicating about the macOS application. cifer.network refers to the broader ecosystem and network.
{% endhint %}

### VEIL for iPhone

[VEIL](https://veil.cifer.network) brings the Cifer privacy approach to iPhone. It is a distinct application within the same parent ecosystem, with its own product accent but the same privacy foundation.

### Cifer Premium

Premium is intended to work across the Cifer ecosystem.

| Plan          | Current price |
| ------------- | ------------: |
| Monthly       |         $4.99 |
| Yearly        |           $49 |
| Lifetime Pass |          $499 |

Users may subscribe through ordinary payment options. The proposed Ghost Economy adds three matching access routes:

* Consume one Wisp for monthly Premium.
* Consume one Fantom, created through ten-Wisp convergence, for yearly Premium.
* Consume one original Alpha or Omega for Lifetime Premium.

An NFT is an access product before consumption, not a requirement for using the applications. Ordinary application use should remain Web2-compatible and should not require a wallet.

### Subscription-backed market sourcing

A Web2 user always buys a normal Cifer subscription. When the proposed Cifer Access Auction is active, that subscription may also trigger a conditional market purchase:

* A monthly subscription may source an eligible Wisp.
* A yearly subscription may source an eligible Fantom or a cheaper ten-Wisp convergence route.
* Cifer purchases only when the cheapest eligible route is at or below its configured maximum bid.
* If no route clears the cap, no NFT is purchased and Cifer retains the subscription revenue.
* The Web2 user receives Premium either way and never needs a wallet.

A market-sourced Wisp or Fantom is purchased, consumed, and linked to the subscription settlement record.

### Network Explorer

The [Cifer Network Explorer](https://explorer.cifer-security.com/) makes network activity observable. It is evidence that Cifer is a running network—not only a collection of applications or a centralized encryption service.

The explorer should progressively expose network status, operators, delegations, relevant transactions, and other verifiable state as those capabilities become publicly available.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cifer.gitbook.io/cifer-docs/products-and-applications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
