# [Meld Encrypt](https://github.com/meld-cp/obsidian-encrypt) Plugin for Obsidian **Create Encrypted Notes Within Your [Obsidian.md](https://obsidian.md/) Vault** [Meld Encrypt](https://github.com/meld-cp/obsidian-encrypt) is a community plugin that lets you encrypt and decrypt your notes in [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/). You can choose to encrypt an [entire note](https://meld-cp.github.io/obsidian-encrypt/whole-encrypted-notes.html) or just [selected text within a note](https://meld-cp.github.io/obsidian-encrypt/in-place-encryption.html). Encrypted notes are never decrypted to disk giving you peace-of-mind that the decrypted contents haven't been sync'd or backed up to external systems. --- > [!WARNING] > ⚠️ Use at Your Own Risk ⚠️ > - Your passwords are never stored. If you forget your password, your notes cannot be decrypted.. > - 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. --- ## Ongoing Maintenance and Development If you find this plugin useful please support the ongoing maintenance and development by: * [Staring ⭐ this repo](https://github.com/meld-cp/obsidian-encrypt) * [Buying me a coffee ☕](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cleon) * [Sponsoring ❤️ me](https://github.com/sponsors/meld-cp).
