Partial Notes, tasks, and spending are standard CRUD, and PDF viewing is available through libraries. End-to-end encrypted sync across devices with proper key management is security-critical and hard to get right without expertise.
What it would actually take: Use a client-side encrypted data model with keys derived from the user's passphrase, a sync layer that stores only ciphertext, and conflict resolution (CRDTs or similar). The hard parts are key management, recovery, and cryptographic design. That calls for applied-cryptography and sync-engineering experience to avoid leaking data or building a broken scheme.
