🔐 Security Notes

• Each entry is encrypted client-side before being stored
• Decryption requires the same key used during encryption
• No key is stored — if lost, data is unrecoverable
• Uses cryptography.Fernet (AES 128-bit encryption with HMAC)

This app is for personal or educational use. Not intended for military, government, or HIPAA-regulated environments unless enhanced for production.
