Why encryption at the journal level instead of encrypting the storage media or via the file system?

I'd be less confident in an app that claims encryption than an operating system.

For what it's worth, I find writing on paper to outweigh more technology dependent approaches to journalling. And over time I've realized that writing stuff I'm worried about someone else reading is a sign that I'm just ruminating.

Good luck.

I'd like to be able to encrypt at the journal level so the encrypted "book" could have the potential to be synced to Dropbox or the like. I don't really need anti-NSA level encryption, more just a measure to (for example) stop guests from reading the content if I leave my machine on at home.

That's an interesting point about pen and paper!
