PrivaNote: Private Journal

U Travel Developers

About this app

PrivaNote is an offline journal and secure note app designed to help you keep personal notes, ideas, and media attachments on your own device. Your data is stored locally and protected using encryption derived from your Master PIN. The app is designed to work without an internet connection and does not require network access to create, view, or manage your content.

Key Features

• Offline First – Create and manage notes without an internet connection.
• Encrypted Storage – Notes and media attachments are encrypted locally using AES-256 GCM. Encryption keys are derived on your device from your Master PIN using PBKDF2.
• Master PIN Protection – Access your journal with a customizable PIN to help protect your data from unauthorized access.
• Media Attachments – Add images and other supported media files to your encrypted notes.
• Organization Tools – Categorize notes with tags, pin important entries, and quickly find content using search.
• Flexible Interface – Choose between list and grid layouts for browsing your notes.
• Encrypted Local Backups – Export encrypted backup files in JSON format for personal storage and restoration on supported devices.
• No Account Required – Start using the app without creating an account or signing in.

How PrivaNote Works

When you create a note, the content is stored locally on your Android device. Your Master PIN is used to derive the encryption key that protects your data. Notes, tags, and supported media attachments remain on your device unless you choose to export an encrypted backup.

PrivaNote is designed to operate without network permissions, allowing you to use the app entirely offline.
