## Description

GuardNote uses your phone’s existing screen lock (Face ID, fingerprint, or PIN) to protect your private notes—no extra passwords to remember. Notes are encrypted and stored locally on your device, never uploaded to the cloud, ensuring true offline privacy and simple, familiar access.

With instant search and quick editing, GuardNote is perfect for private journals, sensitive plans, and personal data. No subscriptions, no reset hassles—just seamless protection powered by the lock screen you already trust.
