Nolio vs NULVEX

Nolio is a free, open-source notes app that stores encrypted notes locally, without cloud storage, third-party servers, or telemetry. Each note is encrypted with AES-256-GCM; key derivation uses Argon2id or a 600,000-iteration PBKDF2 fallback. The master password is essential: the maker says notes cannot be recovered without it and there is no password reset. The vault can lock after a configurable idle period or through Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + L. Its editor supports headings, lists, task lists, quotes, code blocks, callouts, tables, images, and links. Pasted Markdown is converted into rich blocks, and slash commands insert blocks from the keyboard. Notes can be organized into nested pages with unlimited subpages, alongside Favorites, Recent, All Notes, Trash, and a command palette. Desktop users can open resizable sticky-note windows and pin them above other windows. Encrypted backups can be exported to a chosen location, and imports verify the backup password before writing data. Nolio runs in a browser and on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

NULVEX is described on its supplied site as AndroidIRCx, an IRCv3-compliant client for Android. It connects to multiple IRC networks and servers at the same time, with channels, private messaging, server failover, IRCv3 capability negotiation, and DCC transfers. Direct messages and channels are listed as end-to-end encrypted with key verification, while IRC server links can use SSL/TLS. SASL handles server login. SOCKS5, HTTP CONNECT, and Tor proxies can be configured per network or globally. The app includes JavaScript scripting with event hooks, custom commands, and timers; scripting time can come from rewarded ads or become unlimited through a Pro purchase. Other tools include Bouncer/ZNC integration, a services panel for NickServ, ChanServ, HostServ, and OperServ, voice messages, camera and video capture, and encrypted backup and restore. Android 7.0 is required, with Android 11 recommended. Downloads are available through Google Play or a direct APK. The project is open source under GPL-3.0, with offline access listed. Google Play instead describes NULVEX as an encrypted notes vault, creating a product-description mismatch.
