QOwnNotes allows users to encrypt or decrypt notes using AES-256{{Cite web |title=Overview |url=https://www.qownnotes.org/getting-started/overview.html |access-date=2023-10-27 |website=QOwnNotes |language=en-US}} by default, but also allows for custom encryption.
The interface of QOwnNotes can be customized; the user can move and hide different menus.
