Obsidian Encrypt Plugin

Create encrypted notes within your Obsidian.md vault.

Encrypted notes are never decrypted to disk giving you peace-of-mind that the decrypted contents haven't been sync'd or backed up to external systems.

⚠️ WARNING - Use at your own risk ⚠️

Your passwords are never stored anywhere, if you forget your passwords you can't decrypt your notes.

No known audits have been undertaken for the soundness of encryption methods being used. Unwanted decryption by a 3rd party may be possible if they have access to your files.

Bugs could be introduced to the software at anytime, you are responsible for having backups of your notes.

⚜️ Installation
