###Janus Notes 2

Janus Notes is the second version of a sync-capable notetaking app for iOS and OSX that seriously respects your right to privacy.

Janus Notes stores your data using strong encryption and synchronizes it across different devices using a CoreData db over iCloud. The name Janus is a reference to the ancient Roman God Janus, depicted as having two faces since he looks to both future and past. Or perhaps, to cloud storage and privacy. Or Macs and iPhone/iPad devices. Or sharing and control.

The app is available for free in the Mac App Store and the iOS App Store. Usage notes, FAQ and screenshots are available at janusnotes.com.

###The code

There are two Xcode 5 projects, one for iOS and the other for OS X, respectively in the IPhone and OSX subdirectories. Forks and pull requests are always welcome.

Both apps leverage the CoreData framework to store all notes and attachments. When the note texts are saved to the storage (and then synced) are encrypted with an user-defined passphrase. Encryption is performed by the RNCryptor third-party library developed by Rob Napier.

Release versions matching the binaries distributed in the Apple app stores may be built after checking out the correspondingly tagged commits in the repository. The application requires iCloud, so you'll have to wrestle with entitlements and certificate to have it really sync over iCloud.
