About Notes Tech
Notes Tech: 100% local Markdown note-taking, encrypted at-rest.
<b>Radical privacy</b>
• INTERNET permission explicitly removed via manifest merger (tools:node="remove" on android.permission.INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) — verifiable post-merge with <code>aapt dump permissions app.apk</code>
• No account, no telemetry, no tracker, no advertising
• SQLCipher AES-256 database + Android Keystore-sealed key (hardware-backed)
• Multi-step panic mode: wipes key + DB + dictation model in seconds
<b>Per-folder vaults</b>
• Argon2id RFC 9106 passphrase (m=64MB, t=3) or Keystore-bound PIN
• AES-256-GCM per note with AAD = note_id (anti-swap)
• PIN auto-wipe after 5 failures (device-bound Keystore)
• Configurable auto-lock (5 min to never)
<b>On-device voice dictation</b>
• Local Whisper (.bin model imported manually)
• SHA-256 verified at import and before every load
• Audio never persisted — wiped after transcription
<b>Editing</b>
