Dybuk lets you write normally, then seal the document into an encrypted .dybuk vault using AES-256-GCM + Argon2id.
I built Dybuk because i wanted a writing app that sits somewhere between Notepad and a full-blown word processor without the bloat, accounts, cloud sync, or Markdown syntax getting in the way.
Headers, bold, lists, code blocks, math, colours, glow effects, etc. are handled through shortcuts and a contextual toolbar. Markdown is serialized under the hood.
You just write here your deepest/darkest thoughts without the tension of someone reading it. 😅
What is the .dybuk format? Save a document in a completly self-contained encripted vault.
The password is processed through Argon2id, and the resulting encription uses AES-256-GCM with authenticated encription. So the file itself contains no plaintext.
That means .dybuk isn't really limited to diary entries. Private notes, diary entries, personal writing, love letters, confessions, secret messages,etc.
Anything you don't want sitting around as readable plaintext.
You can literally write a love letter normally, seal it into a .dybuk file, send the file to someone, and give them the password separately.
I just made the first public pre-release, so it's definitely not production-ready yet. There are still bugs and rough edges. I'm releasing it now because i'd rather have people actually use the idea than spend another few months polishing it in isolation.

If you write private things, I'd like to know what you actually write in an encrypted writing format like .dybuk?
