Encryption with Attachments

No because encrypting the whole of Bear’s database (in a meaningful way) is problematic for the app startup performances. Apps that do this usually use caching and other techniques to make it work but it’s tricky because those bypass the encryption.

My concern is more on the implications of this for some Bear features as it limits the use of just the main app when foreground (no background sync, sharing extensions, shortcuts, …).
