SECURE BY DESIGN - AES-256-GCM encryption with per-note unique IVs - Keys stored in the iOS Secure Enclave - Zero network entitlements — the app cannot connect to the internet - Plaintext wiped from memory the moment the app goes to background - Optional vault wipe after failed authentication attempts - iCloud backup excluded by default 14 BUILT-IN TEMPLATES Credential, Wi-Fi, Website Login, PIN Code, Bank Account, Crypto Wallet, Server/Host, Network Config, API Token, Software License, Medical Info, Identity Document, Insurance Policy, and General Secure Note — each with structured fields and secure masking.

MARKDOWN NOTES Full markdown support: headings, bold, italic, code blocks, checklists, bullet lists, and blockquotes. Live preview with configurable font size. PASSWORD GENERATOR Generate secure passwords from 8 to 64 characters with customizable character sets, entropy-based strength meter, and one-tap copy or insert into notes.

SHARE SECURELY Export individual notes or bulk selections as encrypted .vaultnote files. Recipients open them in MiVaulty with a passphrase you communicate separately.
