Note Crypt Pro vs Safe Notes - Encrypted Notepad
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Note Crypt Pro
* Create different encrypted, with password, database (files). * Add new notes in a database choosing for each of them: title and tags. * Filter by Tag the list of the notes. * Mark the notes as important by clicking the star icon. * Sorting notes by alphabet or creation date. * The database is securely encrypted with AES 128 bit, using cipher-block chaining (CBC), PKCS5Padding and random IV. For the KDF is used a random salt and PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1. At the first start you need to choose the name of the database (only the name or the complete path in memory) and press the Create button. After choosing your password you can open the database pressing Open. If you forgot your password, the notes will be inaccessible.
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.
