I’m sharing the description of the tasker project with you. I tried to do the same thing using gpg via shell commands, but I didn’t know the right syntax conceptually I think it is possible tough.

For example, I have a ~700 Mb vault, but I encrypt <1 Mb data. I think the project is highly improvable and highly adaptable to your needs. The name of the files are not encrypted.

You have to manually add the path for each folder you want encrypt.

With tasker you can’t encrypt subfolders, so if you want to encrypt /folder1 and it has a subfolder the task will result in an error.

Time consuming but easy to setup method.

tec format and I’ve not found a way to decrypt this format on windows. The same is true for decryption too, since tasker encrypt files in.

Since I bring always my smartphone with me (I think I’m not the only one here) I use it to encrypt my notes, both if I’ve written them with my smartphone or with my pc (since the vault is synchronized). Obsidian sync works too, but be aware of the file version history.Īs you can imagine the idea is very simple. I’m using ‘syncthing’ but a valid alternative could be using the ‘autosync’ app on android and ‘one drive’/‘google drive’ on your pc. If you’re not a tasker user and find it difficult to use feel free to ask for help in the comments now I will no go into depths with details for the sake of brevity.Ī synchronization app, both on your smartphone/tablet and your pc. You will need to buy the app directly from the developer, on patreon. Unfortunately for this purpose you can’t use the play store version of the app, because that version can’t crypt files (I think because of USA laws). I’m just talking about that with this setup curios people will be no longer a problem for you. So I’m not talking about “military grade encryption”, “Swiss privacy standard” or other things like that, no.

I want to do this because searching on the Internet to find a solution I discovered that lot of people had the same necessity that I have: be reasonably sure that no one can access their written thoughts without their authorization. Hello obsidian users, with this post I want to share with you the solution I came up to resolve one of obsidian’s biggest luck.
