Privacy is the default

MarkNest encrypts your writing at rest with AES-256. There is nothing to configure: you write, and the protection is already there.

What gets encrypted

Protection covers the content that matters, including the full trail of past edits.

Document body

Your raw Markdown is encrypted before it is written to the database.

Rendered HTML

The cached HTML render is encrypted alongside the source it came from.

Version history

Every saved revision in your history is encrypted with the same protection.

Transparent by design

Encryption and decryption happen automatically as you read and write. Stored records hold ciphertext, not plain text, so a leaked database row is not a leaked document.

  1. 01

    You save a document in the editor.

  2. 02

    The body and its rendered HTML are encrypted with AES-256 before they reach the database.

  3. 03

    Stored rows contain ciphertext, unreadable on their own.

  4. 04

    When you open the document, it is decrypted transparently for you.

Write with peace of mind

Every plan, including Free, stores your writing encrypted at rest.
