Meld Encrypt Plugin for Obsidian

Create Encrypted Notes Within Your Obsidian.md Vault

Meld Encrypt is a community plugin that lets you encrypt and decrypt your notes in Obsidian. You can choose to encrypt an entire note or just selected text within a note.

While you view or edit an encrypted note, the plugin keeps its saved contents encrypted. Choosing Decrypt note or Decrypt in-place, or exporting through the CLI, writes plaintext that may be synced or backed up.

[!WARNING] ⚠️ Use at Your Own Risk ⚠️

Passwords are normally remembered only in memory for the current session. External file mode reads a password from a file you provide. Without the correct password, encrypted content cannot be recovered.

The encryption methods used have not been independently audited. Unauthorized access may be possible if someone gains access to your files.

Bugs may be introduced at any time. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your notes.
