I ve noticed something interesting while building VaultNote.
Even smart, security-aware people still store sensitive info in: Apple Notes Google Keep Notion WhatsApp chats random text files screenshots saved messages email drafts sticky notes (physical or digital)
Not because they don t care about privacy but because secure tools feel heavy compared to the apps they use every day.
VaultNote is a zero-knowledge, local-first encrypted notes app. Everything runs in your browser with AES-256 WebCrypto no servers, accounts, or tracking. Your thoughts never leave your device.
Export encrypted .vault files, decrypt with your key, and write freely. 100% open-source and private by design
