End-to-end encryption in Bear (With Advanced Data Protection)

[SquareGorilla81]

In case anyone hasn’t been tracking the other threads, it looks like we’re getting our wish! v 2.4 (released tomorrow) will support ADP (end-to-end encryption) for all new notes: Bear 2.4 beta update - #25 by matteo

@matteo

ADP will apply to all new notes, as well as any existing notes you edit. Attachments are already covered by ADP, so no worries there.

We don’t offer a built-in way to convert all old notes, but it’s easy to do if you want:
Just select your notes and make a small change, like toggling them to read-only and back, or pinning and unpinning, and they’ll sync under ADP.

That said, we don’t recommend doing this for everything, since syncing a lot of notes at once can take time. You can always just update the notes you care about most.

Also, keep in mind: that enabling ADP means you won’t be able to use the web version of Bear.

Grateful to @matteo and the dev team for hearing how important this was this subset of users and taking action!
