What people use it for
Technically savvy users who value local storage with military-grade encryption and aren't afraid to configure sync manually.
What reviews praise
AES-256-CBC with HMAC-SHA512, 256,000 PBKDF2 rounds, no proprietary servers (data stays with the user), flexible entry structure including photos and documents, decades of reliable use.
