"Yes, SNL fans, its a floor wax and a dessert topping. Mostly though, it's a simple way to encrypt text."

"You can type any text you want, e.g your bank account information, website passwords, social security number etc. and then simply close LockNote, at which time you will be prompted to set a password."

"Hide your serial numbers, passwords, phone numbers and everyday notes in a safe place. Your informations will be encrypted using a password and most modern AES 256bit encryption technology."

"Another advantage to saving your notes in text files is they're extremely portable; you can use any computer to read and edit one, as well as a bewildering array of other devices. LockNote isn't quite as portable, but the software requires no installation, and every LockNote document file actually contains a copy of the program itself. You can take the files to any other Windows computer of modern vintage and be confident that it will allow you to view or edit your notes. LockNote is a no-nonsense text editor that protects your data from prying eyes without fuss or spectacle. If you have sensitive text files lying around, converting them to LockNote files is an easy and relatively painless way to protect your privacy."

"If the only thing you really want to encrypt are some private thoughts and notes, Steganos' GPL LockNote is a good choice."
