Encrypted Datasafe Notes

A fork of obsidian-protected-note with enhanced features.

AES encryption — encrypts markdown files on disk using CryptoJS.AES with a SHA-256 hashed passphrase
Dynamic ribbon icon — lock/unlock toggle with a Lucide-style SVG that changes visually when vault is locked vs unlocked
Status bar indicator — shows 🔒 Locked / 🔓 Unlocked in the status bar
Lock on window blur — automatically locks the vault when the Obsidian window loses focus
Auto-lock (seconds) — locks after a configurable number of seconds of inactivity

Right-click encrypt/decrypt — encrypt or decrypt any single .md file via the file explorer context menu (password prompt shown if vault is locked)
Bulk lock/unlock — encrypt/decrypt all files in the configured folder at once via ribbon click or commands
Protected folder — restrict bulk operations to a specific folder, or leave empty to protect the entire vault

Enable/Disable password — toggle encryption on/off with password confirmation
Change password — update your vault password (re-encrypts all files with the new key)
Protected folder — choose which folder to protect
Auto-lock (seconds) — idle timeout before automatic lock
Lock on window blur — lock when window loses focus
Decrypt on unlock for search — keeps files decrypted after unlock so Obsidian's search can index them
Show animations — toggle modal and background blur animations
High files protection (beta) — always-at-rest file encryption

Encryption indicators — files in the protected folder show a colored left border and lock icon when the vault is locked (updates dynamically as you expand/collapse folders)

Scan encryption status — shows encrypted vs plaintext file count with double-encryption warnings
Fix double-encrypted files — detects and recovers files encrypted twice (corrupted state)
lockctl.py — terminal-based recovery script with lock/unlock/recover/status functions
Auto-migration — seamlessly imports settings from the original protected-note plugin on first run

Command	Description
Lock vault	Encrypt all files in the protected folder
Unlock vault	Decrypt all files (password required)
Show encryption status	Quick summary of file encryption state
Recover corrupted files	Detect and fix double-encrypted files

If files get corrupted (e.g., double-encrypted), run the Python recovery script:

cd /path/to/your/vault
python3 scripts/lockctl.py

The script auto-detects the vault and provides lock/unlock/recover/status functions. It uses the same AES encryption as the plugin.

npm install
npm run build
