Turtl is often described as an open-source Evernote alternative, but with stronger focus on encryption and security. Here is why: All notes, images, and files you add are encrypted locally before syncing. Your data is locked with your master password, and only you can unlock it. Let’s break it down. Turtl supports text notes, bookmarks, files, and task lists. Notes can be organized with tags for quick retrieval. The downside is that Turtl doesn’t have as many integrations or extensions as other apps. But for pure privacy and simplicity, it’s effective. Next steps: Download Turtl and create a notebook for sensitive information you’d rather keep private. Test out its syncing between devices. Takeaway: Turtl is a strong option if you want an encrypted notebook with no compromises on privacy.
