StealthEdit
Every document is encrypted. Always.
A text editor where security is not a feature. It is the default.
The Problem
Most text editors save files as plain text. If your laptop is stolen, if your cloud provider is breached, or if someone simply opens your files, everything is readable. Encrypting files manually is tedious, and most people don't bother. You need something where encryption happens automatically, every time, with zero extra effort.
StealthEdit makes encryption invisible
Create a document, set a password, and start writing. When you save, StealthEdit encrypts the entire file with AES-256 before it touches your disk. To reopen it, enter your password. If you forget the password, the data cannot be recovered. That is the point.
It is impossible to create an unencrypted file with StealthEdit. Your data is locked down by default, not by choice.
