No, notes are plain .md files on your disk. Encryption was never the goal.
Would like to see encryption, but I have to respect having a clear goal.
I think it makes sense to handle this at a lower level. After using other notes apps, the thing I want is for it to not have some arbitrary opaque file hierarchy that locks me into it. I want a plain dir of .md files, some resources they link to, and that's it. If I want disk encryption, there are solutions for that. I can use something like LUKs to encrypt my whole drive, or even just the notes directory.
For android, afaik everything uses disk encryption by default.
The unix philosophy is do one thing really well. We don't need a note taking app that also handles encryption.
I've not heard of those, but to me this is a competitor to the much more ubiquitous Obsidian. Which works great, and has a whole community of support, but is not open source.
Personally, I don't need my notes app not be responsible for syncing across devices either. I already have that for other file types (photos, media, etc).
I'm not against these features being added, but this app is young, afaik it's one person writing it, so I'd rather see their time be spent making the note taking experience as good as it can be.
I also generally wouldn't trust one person to properly audit the security of the networking and encryption features. If I wanted those features, I'd still give the community time to peruse the codebase.
