Is there a way to lock/secure a specific note/notebook?
I use InkDrop for all my notes, some personal, some work related, and would like to be able to protect access to my personal notes on my work laptops and vice-versa.
In addition, I’ve recently thought of also creating a notebook to store some secrets (passwords, etc) and was wondering 1) is it safe? and 2) can we have a way to lock/secure those so no one except for me can access them?
Just thought it could be a good feature to add, if not present yet.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Inkdrop provides end-to-end encryption, so other people including me basically can’t see your notes out of the box.
Regarding the locking feature, please check out this topic as it’s duplicate:
Encontré este tema y vi que la solicitud para bloquear un cuaderno específico se marcó como duplicada. Quería preguntarte, con mucho respeto y admiración por tu trabajo: ¿por qué decidiste no continuar con la posibilidad de bloquear cuadernos seleccionados o notas individuales? ¿Es algo que podría considerarse más adelante?
Estoy pasando mis notas personales a Inkdrop porque me encanta tenerlo todo en un solo lugar. Aunque entiendo que las notas están cifradas, me preocupa que alguien acceda a ellas si me roban el celular. Lamentablemente, los robos de celulares son frecuentes en Latinoamérica.
¿Sería viable añadir una opción para bloquear ciertos cuadernos o notas, quizá mediante un complemento? También agradecería cualquier consejo sobre cómo proteger mis notas personales mientras tanto.
Gracias por tu tiempo y por todo tu trabajo en Inkdrop.
I found this topic and saw that the request to lock a specific notebook was marked as a duplicate. With great respect and admiration for your work, may I ask why you decided not to pursue the option of locking selected notebooks or individual notes? Could this be considered in the future?
I’m moving my personal notes to Inkdrop because I love having everything in one place. Although I understand that the notes are encrypted, I worry that someone could access them if my phone is stolen. Unfortunately, phone theft is common in Latin America.
Would it be feasible to add an option to lock certain notebooks or notes, perhaps through a plugin? I’d also appreciate any advice on how to protect my personal notes in the meantime.
Thank you for your time and for all your work on Inkdrop.
When your iPhone is locked, the data of Inkdrop (and every other app) is encrypted by iOS and can’t be read without your passcode. So if your phone is stolen while it’s locked, your notes are already safe, as long as you use a strong passcode.
If someone gains full access to your device (e.g., the phone is unlocked, or an admin on a computer), a lock inside the app can’t really stop them, since they control the environment
the app runs on.
For the case where your phone is snatched while unlocked, iOS has a built-in solution: you can require Face ID (or your passcode) to open Inkdrop.
Long-press the Inkdrop icon on your Home Screen, choose Require Face ID, and confirm.
