  • notesnook

    A fully open source & end-to-end encrypted note taking alternative to Evernote.

    The home page title has the word zero knowledge, I guess?

    Their GitHub has slightly more info regarding this, but I agree that stuff like this should have at least a page dedicated for it that explains how they've implemented their security.

    > Notesnook is a free (as in speech) & open-source note-taking app focused on user privacy & ease of use. To ensure zero knowledge principles, Notesnook encrypts everything on your device using XChaCha20-Poly1305 & Argon2.

  • logseq

  • notesnook-sync-server

    Sync server for Notesnook (self-hosting in alpha)

  • Logseq-Git-Sync-101

    This repo aims to help Logseq users to sync their data with Git and GitHub.

    Unfortunately, no. However, there are alternatives to sync. I love Logseq, but dislike the lack of a sync server. I have not not tried either of the following methods as I just recently switched to iOS and just used Syncthing on my Pixel. The guide on ish also has a comment on encryption if you scroll enough.
