• Password protection (256-bit AES encryption) • Organize notes using colors codes and tags • Three different styles to list your notes and please your eyes • 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! • Create encrypted data file for backup/restore
Advantages of encrypting notes: • Keep private information such as credit cards, bank account, passwords and ideas in a single place • Notes are encrypted locally so no one else can access, read or modify them, unless they have password. • Since encryption is done at storage level, accessing notes directly from disk is not possible. If you ever lose phone, you won't lose your notes to thieves.
FAQ -
Q: Why not use XYZ app with application lock? A: 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. Using encryption is proper secure way to keep sensitive information safe.
Q: If someone connects phone to computer and copies/read the data file storing all the notes, can't they read everything? A: 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.
Q: I forgot my password. How do I recover my notes? A: 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.
Q: I can't take screenshots from app or I see blank screenshot in application switcher. What's wrong? A: 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.

Comments on SealNote Secure Encrypted Note for Android
★★★★★
Great simple app. Does exactly what it says. 5 stars if you can reorder notes. Best thing is, it does not need lots of permissions like other similar apps and NO ADs
★★★★★
Fast, easy and simple with backup capability. that's exactly what I expect from an encrypted note.
★★★★★
Excellent, simple, and does exactly what it says on the tin- the encryption is 256bit AES, and is extra secure as you cant open the file in any way other than via the app on the phone, and it csnt be accessed by an external PC - so. dont lose the password!!!
★★☆☆☆
Developer not keeping up. App crashes when trying to back up your notes. Good luck moving your notes to a new phone
★★☆☆☆
BURNS MY EYES OUT. NO AMOLED THEME AFTER ALL THIS TIME EQUALS VERY STUCK ON STUPID, & A VERY BAD REVIEW FOR HURTING MY EYES WITH YOUR FLASHY WHITE SCREEN. REALLY DUMB.
