Feature Request: Global Encryption

Bear feedback Feature Request
1

Encrypting notes one-by-one is cumbersome and prone to errors (i.e. forgetting to encrypt new notes). Also, note titles are not encrypted. There should be an option to have a global encryption, so that the whole database is encrypted. You’d have to enter your password when you start up Bear or when it’s locked.

Global encryption would also increase the security of iCloud syncs, where currently the data is not end-to-end encrypted and Apple has access to the encryption keys.

I think this feature would make a very compelling argument to how Bear is making its user’s privacy a top priority.

Please keep up the great work, love the app! :heart_eyes:

It would also be great to be able to encrypt a subset of things automatically—anything marked with a given tag, for example.

would love this request as well, to encrypt all notes by default options upon creation.

+1 to this feature request. I trust cloud providers less and less as time goes on with unencrypted data and it would be great if there was an option to have Bear notes end-to-end encrypted.

Adding another to the pile of people interested in this very feature. Being able to automatically encrypt a particular parent tag and all child tasks under it would be amazing!

@ApatheticAlpaca and @xierox In another thread, this was addressed as to why this won’t happen:
