Yeah, create a long enough random string of letters for the note name and it'd act like a type of key encryption. security through obscurity
Edit: To make the literalist pedants happy.

I don’t think you understand encryption

If you fart hard enough into a speech to text, the phrase that comes out is encrypted. It's just science

It literally says that every note is encrypted and the notes title acts as the key.

So the lock to the front door of your house is its address. Got it.

Jfc, I didn't mean it's literal actual encryption. In terms of the difficulty of someone unintentionally finding the note it's LIKE encryption because they'd need the specific key to find it.

That's not what encryption does. You're referring to security through obscurity. Encryption makes it so even if the note is found, it is unreadable by anyone other than those with the key to decrypt.
Writing in a made up language is closer to encryption than your example.
