Feature description

1. Password protect the whole aplication

A very useful feature when you don't have a launcher that supports app locking.

2. Password protect note deletion

Another useful feature, and simple to add. I honestly need it a lot because once I deleted an important note by mistake when I wanted to open settings ( "Delete note" is near "settings" button. ) It is already present in Gallery and File Manager, so why not here too?

Why do you want this feature?

Because they improve overall user privacy, are very useful, easy to add, and already present in other apps.

I know that an individual note lock feature is already present, which also includes protection for deletion of the specific note, but that alone is not really enough.

Of course, having to type a pin code to open the app, another to open a ( locked ) note, and another to delete a note might seem like a bit too much, but again, it's optional and up for the user to decide if they want to use it or not.

Additional information

I love Fossiy apps and I hope these features will be added.

Password protection has been added in https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Notes/pull/21 and it'll be available in the initial release.

Of course, having to type a pin code to open the app, another to open a ( locked ) note, and another to delete a note might seem like a bit too much, but again, it's optional and up for the user to decide if they want to use it or not.

That is a bit too much, it should be simplified.
