What is CipherNotes?

Why Cipher?

Your phone is your vault. Everything stays on device.
No accounts. No login. No tracking who you are.
Small footprint. No bloat.
Auditable. Open source. Every line of code visible.
Privacy by design. No internet permission. Zero telemetry hooks.

Privacy by design

No INTERNET permission in AndroidManifest
Network security config blocks all outbound traffic at OS level
Passwords never stored — derived on-demand via PBKDF2
Encryption uses: PBKDF2 (200k iterations) + AES-256-GCM
All data stays on device — Room SQLite database
