NPPCrypt Alternatives
NPPCrypt is described as 'plugin for Notepad++ that will allow users to encrypt, decrypt text as well with create hashed messages/text and random blobs'. There are more than 10 alternatives to NPPCrypt for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and iPhone. The best alternative is CryptPad, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like NPPCrypt are Milanote (Freemium), Notebook PEA (Free, Open Source), EncFS (Free, Open Source) and CryptoTE (Free, Open Source).
- CryptPad is a private-by-design alternative to popular office tools and cloud services. All the content stored on CryptPad is encrypted before being sent, which means nobody can access your data unless you give them the keys.

- Free • Open Source
- Mac
- Windows
- Linux
- BSD
- EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem in user-space. It runs without any special permissions and uses the FUSE library and Linux kernel module to provide the filesystem interface. You can find links to source and binary releases below.
Warning
The author has agreed that EncFS in its current form is dangerous (to security) for several reasons. Wikipedia has a brief summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncFS#General_Security_Concerns

- fSekrit is a small application for keeping securely encrypted notes. These notes are truly stand-alone; the editor program and your note are merged together into a tiny self-contained program file, bypassing the need to install a special application to view your data.
- Paranoia Text Encryption keeps your SMS, emails, social networking posts, notes and any other text safe from snoopers, hackers and prying eyes.
- An android app for writing and storing AES-128 encrypted notes. Supports notes, checklists and even spreadsheets. It is the only app in play store offering multiple security options like password protection, pattern lock and pin lock.
- DCrypt is an encryption and decryption tool that combines in a smart way multiple algorithms. The combination of multiple strong algorithms makes it much more difficult for hackers to get the plain content of the encrypted file without the password.No screenshots yet
- Encrypted Notepad is a very simple to use application providing state of the art industrial-strength encryption to users who want nothing more than to store sensitive information in text documents.
