Lockbook lets you write notes, sketch ideas, and store files in one secure place. Share seamlessly, keep data synced, and access it on any platform—even offline. Lockbook encrypts file
Lockbook uses elliptic curve cryptography (just like Bitcoin) to hide your data even from us. Your files never leave your device without being encrypted with your private key. Your private key is generated on your device and transferred directly to your other devices by scanning a QR code or typing a 24-word phrase.
This is free and unencumbered software released into the public domain. It runs under Linux, Android, macOS, and Windows.
