ARCHIVED! NOT MAINTAINED!
SealNote is simple notes/notepad application which focuses on security and simplicity. Your notes are password protected using 256-bit AES encryption. Keep sensitive information always available without compromising security!
- Password protection (256-bit AES encryption)
- Color code your notes
- Password expires after configurable timeout
- Protect content from screenshots, window switcher and other non-secure displays
- Multi-column layout with number of columns optimized for your screen size.
- Simple and easy to use UI/UX
- No ads ever!
- Keep private information such as credit cards, bank account and passwords in a single place
- Notes are encrypted locally so no one else can access them, unless they have password.
- Since encryption is done at storage level, access of notes directly from disk is not possible. Hence if you ever lose phone, you won't lose your notes to thieves.
Application locks prevents user from opening application, but does not secure the storage. Hence adversary can simply access the storage file directly and read the content.
If someone connects phone to computer and copies/read the data file storingall the notes, can't they read everything?
They can't. No one can, regardless how they access the data file (unless they have your secret password). The application uses a technique called encryption. Encryption uses your password to convert notes to unreadable form which makes no sense to anyone even computer. This can be converted back to readable text only using exact same password.
You can't. Your password is not stored anywhere but in your brain. If you lose your password, you will lose all your notes. Storing password locally or on server is a security hole which should be avoided.
You probably have enabled "Secure Window" feature in SealNote settings. Disable it to be able to take screenshots or show window content in application switcher.
