| Spec score · Secure Notes Apps | 8.1 (#9) | 8.4 (#7) |
| Encryption | The encrypted database uses AES-256 with a passphrase and derives its key with Argon2id; Binderus says a lost passphrase cannot be recovered. | The repository says notes are encrypted with AES-256 and also with Triple DES using a SHA-256 hash based on the device ID. |
| Purpose | Binderus is a local-first note-taking app with WYSIWYG editing of plain Markdown files. | LocalNotes stores notes locally and lets users edit, delete, and search them. |
| Support | The docs direct users to the FAQ, Discord, or GitHub issues for help. | The Google Play listing provides [email protected] as the support email. |
