About the startup

bpad is an open-source, encrypted note-taking PWA for desktop and mobile that works offline. Notes are encrypted in your browser using Argon2id + AES-256-GCM before leaving your device. Only unreadable ciphertext reaches the server, meaning your notes are always at your fingertips across all your devices, yet completely private and unreadable to anyone else.
