Looks great!

And has mobile apps for iOS and Android with even quite good ratings, clients for Windows, macOS and Linux and browser extensions.

Made by Beijing Wozhi Technology Co. Ltd.

@necrevistonnezr We can do a review of the server image to make sure its not calling home

Looks like they can't even secure their own server --- F
(2 reasons to be F plus 2 Bs --- abysmal)

Also,

Is there any time limit of WizNote Docker Server?

There is no time limit when the number of accounts is under 5. You can enjoy the server as long as you wish. Please contact us to buy more licenses when you want to promote it in your team.

Several other things don't add up, but I don't want to spend anymore time on WizNote. Minus one from me.

@Hillside502 The security of their server has little to nothing to do with the merits or even the security of their app. What other things didn't add up?

[A Former User]

@will As I said, won't spend more time --- tracker in the android app, Chinese-based (phones home?), do the source codes match the binaries? etc, etc

It's not open source, so it does not matter where the software originates from: You won't be able to check this.

And even if its sources would be available, unless the project offers reproducible builds outside parties will not be able to verify if the source marches the binary result.

WizNote purports to be (at least partially) open source
https://github.com/WizTeam?tab=repositories

If it's closed, IMHO not to be trusted as a Cloudron app.

@Hillside502 ah interesting. The only bit on their website I could find is https://www.wiz.cn/wiznote-opensource.html, which only lists libraries they are using. But your link also shows some qt client.

Additionally some the these repos are quite old, so they seem to be around for some time already.

Too bad. This looks like it has alot of function
