hello everyone and welcome back to the keep productive youtube channel it's francesco here
and in today's video what we'll be doing is going over some top productivity applications
that include encryption or a focus on security with your experience now as you can imagine in
the 21st century it's definitely important to keep your data secure and these applications have taken
steps to make that much better so we're going to outline them in today's video giving you a bit
more information and a bit more detail about what they include obviously there's tons more and we'll
be diving into the topic over the next couple of weeks if you're new here please do hit subscribe
now one recommended video before we begin hari shabbat has created such a fantastic video on e2e
encryption and how it affects applications like notion and evernote which actually do not include
this into the experience so i definitely recommend watching it if you're fairly new to the concept
of security it's a fantastic explainer video so let's start with bear notes now bear notes has
been on the market for a while and in their 1.7 update they allow now encryption of individual
notes and you can lock there using your face id and touch id to protect sensitive information
now this is perfect if you're looking to lock away specific notes and make them even more encrypted
than they already are because they have a private and secure multi-device sync via icloud which is
already fairly good bear notes is one of those applications that tends to your security and
something that a lot of people would like to see in apps like evernote number two is standard notes
and this is probably the most security focused productivity application on the market it has aes
256 encryption basically no one will be allowed to read your notes whether that's the developer
or someone hacking in the great thing with standard notes is they've got easy to use
open source mac applications windows ios android and linux and it's a really popular option for
those who are security conscious so number three we've got omnifocus 3. omnifocus now supports
end-to-end encryption and they have since 2016 basically communication to and from the server
is encrypted using a secure https connection just like the traffic between your computer
and your online banking website so they seem to be on a high level focus on their security side
actually i found it quite tricky to find to do list applications that had an end-to-end
encryption focus so i'm sure in the future people will be looking for this finally although it's not
end-to-end encryption it's definitely something that people are looking at for the near future
is local folder storage applications like rome are backed up through the web however
applications like obsidian are sort of pushing in the direction of local file storage so number four
obsidian focuses on plain text markdown and you can have any kind of sync connected to it
whatever your computer offers and also you can add a level of encryption or data processing
that works for plain text files the volts are pretty secure and obsidian but the great thing is
if you don't have their sync abilities then it will not be connecting to the internet which
is perfect for some people who just want to work offline or they want to control all of their data
and where it goes anyway folks i hope you enjoyed this encryption focused feature
we will be definitely diving into more of this and really going into a lot more detail than we
have in today's video if you're new here it'd be fantastic to have you as a subscriber so please
do make sure you hit the button below anyway folks thank you very much share below any comments you
have about encryption applications it'd be great to start that conversation anyway folks cheerio
you
