    This has been exceptionally done to death on Reddit but I’ll say it here since Reddit is dead.

    Authentication -

    If what you’re looking for is a login front end you could check out paper merge - personally I’ve got Keycloak and Nginx running so I can just make my own login page anyway and put paperless behind it.

    Stuff with sensitive documents should probably not be on the internet anyway unless you’re a really advanced user.

    Encryption -

    In app encryption offers no security because the encryption key is stored in RAM and likely a database entry that must be unencrypted.

    So the Devs are 100% correct in stating that it gives people a false sense of security to offer it as a feature.

    Best bet is to have an encrypted filesystem or alternative encrypted storage buuuut, also understand that encryption key is also stored in RAM.

    TLDR: There is no point in Devs offering in app encryption when you should already be encrypting the filesystem.

    Given that Apple is more likely to submit to government (any, any country) coercion and doesn’t allow side loading of apps your next phone should be Android. Especially one that supports GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.

    Failing that, many apps work as web applications and if saved to the home screen it’ll both look and feel like a native app.
