Will the Android app update itself?

Ask your AI agent instead

Only if you installed it with Obtainium, which reads our releases and offers each new version as it ships. If you took the APK straight from our website, your phone will not update it on its own, because Android does not auto-update an app that did not come from a store. Google Play is not live yet, so there is no store route today.

The website APK tells you instead. The app checks for a newer version and shows an "Update available" notice with a "Download" button. Tap Download, then open the downloaded file to install it over the old version, with your notes and settings untouched. The check only asks whether a newer version exists, it never touches your notes, which stay encrypted the whole time.
