Safe Notes - Encrypted Notepad vs ToS;DR
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Safe Notes - Encrypted Notepad
★ Safe Notes is an open-source project that aims to provide an encrypted, private note manager. ★ Employs rigorously tested AES-256 encryption standards to encrypt your notes. ★ Incognito Keyboard ★ Brute-force protection ★ Protection against data snooping via adb ★ Android background snapshot protection ★ Inactivity guard ★ Automated encrypted backup ★ Arctic Nord style dark and light theme ★ Customization for colorful notes ★ Seamless migration to new device. Use the backup to move your data from one device to another device. ★ Safe Notes provides ultimate security - you don't have to trust us, or any other third party because everything is done locally on your phone. ★ Contrary to the ongoing frenzy of "move everything to cloud" we believe in "localization of user data" giving you the control of your data and not some third-party cloud service provider. ★ Completely anonymous, no inbound and outbound requests. --- How it works --- ★ Safe Notes encrypt each note with a unique AES-256 symmetric key derived from your passphrase and randomly generated salt. ★ If an attacker tries to brute-force your encrypted notes it will take "Trillions Upon Trillions years" in contrast, the universe has only existed for 15 billion years. (You must use strong and long passphrase). ★ AES-256 is symmetric key encryption that is quantum-resistant, i.e. it isn't vulnerable to quantum computers. ★ Everything is stored locally on the user's device. ★ Your passphrase is never stored on the device, it gets purged as soon as you exit the app. ★ We can't decrypt your notes even if we wanted to. That gives you the ultimate security, but it also means that a lost passphrase can never be recovered. ★ Safe Notes is an open-source, not-for-profit project.
