    On marketing EssentialPIM https://www.essentialpim.com as a private Personal Information Manager alternative to Microsoft Outlook which remains offline
    in an encrypted database and then synchronised with an Android phone, the developers and, more importantly, the administrators who try to cope with
    the constant barrage of various complaints about the program, put a lot of emphasis on the user's ability to protect their personal information by
    being able to hold it all in a password-protected database and sychronise it with their Android device. Sounds promising. However, when synchronising the opened database on your PC with the database on your phone a log file is created elsewhere on their PC. In my case, I find it in

    'C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\EssentialPIM Pro\Logs'

    I use this, and logging can be disabled.

    Click Tools, Options, Synchronization, and on the right uncheck
    Enable logging. Then click Security (below Synchronization),
    and check Clear the database load history on exit.

    I only use Notes for technical info, little personal info here.
