What both publish
| Fact | PrivacyNotes | VaultNote |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | The clients encrypt note data locally with XChaCha20-Poly1305 before synchronization. | The site says synced notes are encrypted with AES-256-CBC before leaving the device, and the master password is never stored. |
| Offline use | The app is local-first, so reading, writing, and searching work without an internet connection and changes sync when connectivity returns. | GitHub sync is optional, and VaultNote can be used as a local-only note app. |
| Product | PrivacyNotes is an end-to-end encrypted personal workspace for notes, tasks, files, a vault, journals, and bookmarks. | VaultNote is an encrypted markdown note app that syncs notes to a GitHub repository the user owns. |
