| Fact | Binderus | PrivacyNotes |
|---|---|---|
| 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 clients encrypt note data locally with XChaCha20-Poly1305 before synchronization. |
| Integrations | The docs describe syncing vaults through iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Syncthing, or Git; Binderus has no proprietary sync server. | Sign-in can use Google, Apple or GitHub, while Bitwarden, browser passwords and browser bookmarks have import paths. |
