Hi HN~~So, I just created NoteLock, a new app that allows you to send secret messages super easily using end-to-end encryption, on an open channel (so they remain encrypted in transit and at rest). This is my second MacOS app ever, so I'm pretty stoked. Just wanted to put something super simple and free on the app store. I noticed that there weren't any apps out there that made this process as effortless as it should be, so I created LockNote to give people a secure and simple way to share confidential information. All you need to do is enter your message and a password, and NoteLock generates a base64 text that you can post anywhere. All operations happen offline, on your device, and no data is ever sent to any server anywhere. Plus, I was able to use industry-standard AES-GCM encryption, which I'm pretty stoked about. Thanks to CryptoKit and Chat GPT, I was able to create something that's not only secure but also easy to use (and was easy to make). Plus I had a bunch of fun making the app preview video for this^0 Man I really love Muzak. Especially royalty free Muzak~~I didn't know there was so much of it! I've always been fascinated by encryption, and creating LockNote was a chance for me to play around with it in a very straightforward way. Aside from that: I really wanted to check the box on the App Store that says: "Does your app use non-exempt encryption" But then I realized that AES in CryptoKit was exempt anyway! If you're like me and you like encryption, or just want to easily send encrypted text in the open, NoteLock is definitely worth checking out. ^0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS4nSseOH74 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS4nSseOH74
