Feature description

Providing some sort of encryption to locked notes by using a master password(or pin/pattern/biometrics if it's possible to generate an immutable password from those).

Why do you want this feature?

Notes app should gain the same privacy and security as writing a file and encrypting it inside a sandbox on desktop.

Additional information

I'm not sure how the notes are organised inside the app's sandbox, they could already be encrypted.
In that case feel free to close the Feature Request.
Instead if they're handled like gallery's locked medias, they're not really encrypted inside the sandbox fs.

• Third-party apps can not access your notes.
• Apps with root privileges can access your notes. This is less likely to be true if you don't have a rooted device.

How can it be so uncertain that apps with root privileges can or cannot access notes in a unrooted device?

[naveensingh]

It is technically possible to gain root access by exploiting vulnerabilities in the device hence "less likely" ;)

I guess I should have said "rare" or "highly unlikely".

Also, I assume not but if you are running a debug version of the app, gaining access is as easy as running adb shell run-as org.fossify.notes.debug on a computer.
