NULVEX vs SecNotes

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.

SecNotes is a free Android note-taking app for personal data, with browser access for synced notes. It supports formatted text notes, image and video attachments, reminders, text-to-speech, themes and custom fonts, alongside spreadsheet and checklist formats. Notes can be arranged in folders and subfolders and protected with a password, PIN or pattern lock; the maker says they are stored using AES128 encryption. Spreadsheets include formulas, cell and row or column formatting, scrolling, sharing and XLS export. Checklists support sorting, reminders, item changes, duplicate checking and automatic completion when all items are checked. Backups are listed for Cloud and Dropbox, with SD-card backup and restore described in the app listing. Cloud-backed notes can be viewed and edited in a browser, and shared notes can be edited by up to 10 people. Imports include text and CSV files; exports include TXT, HTML, XLS, XLSX and PDF. Premium features include browser editing, shared notes, cloud backup, password recovery, printing, PDF and XLSX export, and ad removal.
