If you're on OS X, use Disk Utility to make an encrypted disk image of a few hundred megabytes. When you want to edit the data, mount it, then unmount when you're done.
It won't secure you against everything, but it'll certainly secure against the casual observer. It's also probably better than the no-longer-supported Truecrypt.
- kngspook 12y agoThis is what I do. My passwords live in the same container too.
- petercooper 12y agoAnd even better, you can put this on Dropbox or whatever, and it'll remain secure but be accessible on all your OS X devices.
- joshstrange 12y agoWhile I agree this is the best quick option for people on OS X I hate that the options for using multiple devices (laptop/mobile) are self-hosted and/or self-written software. Apps like DayOne are very cool (both OS X and iOS clients are a joy to use overall) but there is no encryption, all your entries are stored in plain text. I'd love a halfway decent cross platform encryptable journalling app using icloud/dropbox to sync encrypted files but I haven't found one yet.
- CHY872 12y agoVery long to reply, but SpiderOak might suit your needs. It's a Dropbox competitor that uses strong local encryption to ensure that only you can decrypt your data. They have apps - poor performance but for text files should be ok.
- joshstrange 12y agoThanks for the reply! I've heard of SO before but I'll check it out!
