Your private notes deserve military-grade protection. PrivatePad is a secure, encrypted notepad that keeps your personal thoughts, passwords, journal entries, and sensitive information safe from prying eyes.

**No cloud. No servers. No compromises.**

Everything stays on YOUR device, protected by the same encryption trusted by security professionals worldwide.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

**STRONG SECURITY**

• **End-to-End Encryption** – Your notes are encrypted using XSalsa20-Poly1305, the same algorithm used by Signal and other privacy-focused apps

• **Biometric Lock** – Access your notes only with your fingerprint or face. No master password to forget or steal

• **Zero-Knowledge Architecture** – Your encryption keys never leave your device. Not even we can read your notes

• **Offline-Only** – No internet connection required. Your data never touches a server

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

**Distraction-Free Writing**
Clean, minimal interface designed for focused writing. No clutter, no ads, just you and your thoughts.

**Auto-Save**
Never lose your work. Notes save automatically as you type.

**Dark Mode**

**Lightning Fast**
Instant encryption and decryption. No lag, no waiting.

**Secure Storage**
Every note is individually encrypted with a unique nonce, stored in AES-256 encrypted storage.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

**TECHNICAL SECURITY**

For the security-conscious:

→ Encryption: TweetNaCl secretbox (XSalsa20-Poly1305)
→ Key Storage: Android Keystore (hardware-backed)
→ Key Protection: BIOMETRY_ANY_OR_DEVICE_PASSCODE
→ Random Generation: Cryptographically secure PRNG
→ Storage: react-native-encrypted-storage (AES-256)

Your encryption key is generated on first launch and stored in your device's secure hardware enclave. It can only be accessed after successful biometric authentication.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

**⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES**

• **No Cloud Backup** – Your notes exist only on your device. If you lose your device, your notes cannot be recovered. This is by design for maximum security.

• **No Account Required** – We don't collect emails, names, or any personal information.

• **No Analytics** – We don't track what you write or how you use the app.
