re/task & re/notes just got a unified search box with 10+ operators.

Examples:
due:<7d -is:completed → open, due this week
list:Inbox is:starred → starred in Inbox
tag:reading has:link → tagged notes with a link

…also folder:, created:, modified:, is:overdue and more.

Plus boolean OR / AND / parentheses. Runs client-side - server never sees your query.

🔐 Strong passwords matter — but for teams, they’re not enough.

On World Password Day, we’re looking beyond password rules and at what really matters for secure collaboration: identity-based access, clear permissions, and zero-knowledge encryption.

Приватные платежи на блокчейне Polygon: как ZK-доказательства стыкуются с регулятором

Приватные стейблкоин-платежи на Polygon: как ZK-доказательства стыкуются с регулятором 4 мая 2026 Polygon Labs объявил, что в Polygon Wallet добавлен пункт «Приватная отправка» (Privately Send) — отправка USDC и USDT с сокрытием отправителя, получателя и суммы транзакции. Технологический партнёр — Hinkal, протокол шифрованных пулов с верификацией через протокол доказательств с нулевым разглашением. Разбираемся, где слабые места в модели и почему этот паттерн важен далеко за пределами платежей — для RFQ-протоколов и опционов

Why we need more Zero-knowledge tools?

[Part 2 of 2]

Zero-knowledge architecture complicates investigations, especially counter-terrorism. Agencies cannot obtain readable content from providers forcing reliance on device forensics (Cellebrite tools), metadata analysis, human intelligence, financial tracking, and international cooperation. India’s first comprehensive National Counter-Terrorism Policy, PRAHAAR (unveiled February 23, 2026 by the Ministry of Home Affairs) [3], identifies strong encryption and anonymous messaging as tools exploited by terrorists for anonymity and coordination. It calls for enhanced digital forensics, AI-driven pattern detection, platform accountability, and disruption of cyber networks. However, it does not impose a blanket ban on zero-knowledge tools.

Zero-knowledge tools are a net positive for privacy and democracy when used responsibly. They do not create perfect secrecy. As mentioned earlier, law enforcement can still use device forensics, metadata, and intelligence. Privacy does not guarantee democracy, but its absence consistently undermines it by limiting free expression and allowing abuse of power.

Zero knowledge tools need better usability for wider acceptance in India. They must support Indian languages and UPI style payments. Free tiers should be generous, with enough storage and features for daily use. Simple education campaigns are required in schools, colleges, and through regional languages. These campaigns must explain why basic end to end encryption is not enough and how zero knowledge works. Network effects can be strengthened with easy invite friends tools. India based data centres or local representatives will help faster compliance. Privacy should be marketed as protection from data theft and misuse, not just as anti government.

Why we need more Zero-knowledge tools?

[Part 1 of 2]

Zero-knowledge tools (often called zero-knowledge encryption or zero-knowledge architecture services) are privacy-focused apps and platforms where the service provider has zero knowledge of the actual data. Even if they are subpoenaed, hacked, or compelled by authorities (relevant in India under DPDP [1] or other laws), they literally cannot access or hand over your readable content. This goes beyond basic End-to-End Encryption (E2EE). E2EE protects data in transit between users, but the provider might still hold keys or access metadata. Zero-knowledge ensures the provider is completely blind to the content [2].

Popular zero-knowledge tools are Proton mail, Tuta mail, Standard Notes, Notesnook, Proton Drive, Bitwarden, Filen.io, Simplex Chat, Threema (banned in India since May 2023) etc.

WhatsApp, with fully visible metadata to Meta, Gmail, Outlook, Telegram and Arattai are not zero knowledge tools. WhatsApp heavily advertise their E2EE features as sufficient for privacy, often misleading Indian users into believing basic E2EE equals full protection while downplaying metadata risks and provider access.

Signal prioritizes usable, strong E2EE with excellent metadata protection over pure zero-knowledge. It's "privacy by design + policy," is not absolute zero-knowledge. Many experts still call it the gold standard for messaging.

In India lack of awareness, network affect, convenience, habit, and zero cost keep WhatsApp, Gmail, and Google Drive dominant. Zero-knowledge tools offer stronger privacy but demand more effort and paid subscriptions or one time fee for comfortable and carefree usage in a price-sensitive market like India. This limits mass adoption and keeps strong privacy tools largely confined to tech-savvy or high-risk users.
