Why CipherNotes为什么选择 CipherNotes
CipherNotes is designed for private notes, IDs, contracts, scans, family files, project archives, and anything you do not want to place into a cloud notebook or drive. CipherNotes 适合私密记事、证件、合同、扫描件、家庭文件、项目归档，以及任何你不想放进云笔记或云盘的内容。
Notes and files together笔记与文件统一管理
Keep text, photos, PDFs, archives, scans, and large private files in one encrypted local workspace.把文字、照片、PDF、压缩包、扫描件和大文件都放在一个本地加密空间里。
Large-file path大文件路径
Vault files use 4 MB encrypted chunks. Large imports run in the background and exports stream back to disk.保险柜文件使用 4 MB 加密分片。大文件导入在后台运行，导出时按流写回磁盘。
Equal local accounts平等本地账户
Accounts are visible on this Mac, but each account can only manage itself. There is no master account.本机上可见多个账户，但每个账户只能管理自己，没有主账号。
Highest Protection最高保护
Hide previews, block copy/export/share paths, prefer built-in viewers, add an inactive-window privacy shield, and optionally configure a decoy password.隐藏预览、阻止复制/导出/分享、优先使用内置查看器，窗口失焦时启用隐私遮罩，还可以配置虚假密码。
Local security log本地安全日志
Security events are encrypted with the account and avoid note bodies, filenames, passwords, and recovery codes.安全事件与账户一起加密保存，不记录正文、文件名、密码或恢复码。
