Reviewer notes

Source Reviewed review. These are observations, not a security certification.

13 stars, ISC license, CI with codecov. Local SQLite — data stays on device. P2P sync mechanism needs enterprise network policy review. 7 open issues on 13-star project is a stability yellow flag. Technically sound but early stage. Tier-3.

ISC license (unusual for enterprise — legal review recommended). Local SQLite only — no external cloud storage. P2P sync uses unspecified protocol (check against enterprise network policy). Background HTTP server likely. Individual maintainer with limited track record.
