It’s a pretty polished notes app, though couldn’t see that it supports encryption.

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.

In practice this app competes either StandardNotes and Notesnook. People using those might be interested in switching, but they’ll want encryption.
