Encrypted Note Editor App In React Native
8 projects | dev.to | 4 Mar 2024

Storing the notes: For storing the notes, we will use the amazing WatermelonDB package which is a popular sqlite wrapper for react-native. Instead of using the default package we will use a fork of this that uses sqlcipher instead of the regular sqlite, allowing us to encrypt the database by passing a secret key.

Watermelondb it gives you an ORM, reactivity (when a records changes it cause UI re-render), and easy syncing with remote server, go with that if you don't know SQL that well.
