if you want to type the key yourself each time this could work. I’m not aware of an app that does this but it wouldn’t be too hard I don’t think.
Comment on Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk?
HamalaKarris@lemmy.world 5 days agoIn my mind at least this would be solved by the “vault” needing to be decrypted with a password every time notes are accessed saved with the password acting as the key? I’m not terribly well educated on encryption though.

The problem is how many random characters can you remember in your head?
A good encryption key would be around 32 characters to form a 256 bit encryption key.
You can do a fun game of encrypt the encryption key with a password but that’s just another vulnerability in the chain.
I recommend getting a PGP key stored on a yubikey and then encrypt all your notes with it since it’s all in markdown, I store my notes on Google drive and keep them decrypted in memory so that I can still use Obsidian.
