Note

Note is a client-side encrypted note taking application that allows you to safely and securely share notes between multiple computers.

Important Note

This application is still under development.

Features

• File encryption (including photos)

• Folder and file name encryption

  • The folder structure is still visible, but folder and file names are not

• Files and assets are never stored locally in their decrypted form

  • All files and assets are decrypted in app when a certain file is chosen by the user
  • This means any application looking for certain file extensions (ex. png, jpg, etc.) will not see these files in their decrypted state

• Cloud sync

  • Sync encrypted notes to Google Drive

Future Implementation

• Live E2E encrypted peer editing
• Add a local database to keep track of cloud sync events that need to occur
  • Ex: Renaming file when not connected to the internet
