TEKA is a simple note taking app with a twist. You can protect your notes with a PIN so even if you give your device to kids or others they can not see your private notes. Key features: - PIN protected - Color tags - Auto-lock - Optional iCloud backup - Optional self-destruct mode Please note that if you enable self-destruct mode and do not have iCloud backup, you will lose all notes irreversibly if self-destruct sequence is initiated. If you do have iCloud backup, you will need to remove the app, reinstall from the App Store, set the same PIN then restore from the backup.
