# Meld Encrypt
Community plugin that encrypts notes or selected text in-place. Encrypted content is only decrypted in memory — never written to disk, so it's safe to sync via Git, iCloud, or Obsidian Sync.
## Usage
- **Encrypt entire note:** Command palette → "Meld Encrypt: Encrypt/Decrypt"
- **Encrypt selection:** Select text → same command
Encrypted blocks appear as `%%🔐 ...base64... 🔐%%` in raw markdown.
## Caveats
- **No password recovery.** Forget it and the data is gone.
- Not independently audited.
- Check for encrypted blocks before publishing — they'd appear as garbled text:
```bash
grep -rl '🔐' Brain/
```
