About

Crypto Notes

Read full description

The goal of the Crypto Notes app is to create the most secure note-taking application. Without the password, no one can access or modify your notes. We use an encryption method that is very close to information-theoretic security, providing a level of security equivalent to it in most typical scenarios. The password is the only way to access your notes. If you forget it, the content of your notes will be permanently lost. Therefore, please make sure to remember your password carefully and avoid setting one that is too simple, to prevent others from guessing it through brute force attacks. Notes are encrypted and stored locally, not on the server. You can back them up via iCloud.

Read My List makes grocery lists easier to see, hear, and update while shopping. Paste a list from messages, email, notes, or anywhere else. Read My List turns it into large editable item cards, so each item is easier to read and check off. You can also add items one at a time. Tap any card to hear that item read aloud, or use Read whole list to hear remaining items in order. Mark items done, undo them, long-press to edit, and swipe to delete. Built for simple in-store use with large text, high-contrast cards, big controls, offline access, and your current list saved on your device.
