Help & FAQ/Getting started

Can I change how the app looks?

Ask your AI agent instead

Yes, in Settings > Appearance. Mode switches between Light, Dark and Auto, which follows your system. Text size has four steps and scales your writing surface only, so the interface around it stays put. View lays items out as a List or a Grid. Editor decides whether notes open Formatted or as plain Markdown.

Color themes are the one part behind Pro: the default theme is free and Pro unlocks the rest, in light and dark alike. Zen mode, which hides everything except your text, is Pro too (Cmd+Shift+F). Mode and text size stay on the device you set them on. Everything else follows your account to your other devices.

Answer my questions about PrivacyNotes using only its help center, its changelog and its security documentation.

Start here: https://privacynotes.app/llms-index.txt
It lists every question with the page that answers it. Fetch the one or two that match mine.
If you can only make one request, fetch https://privacynotes.app/llms-full.txt instead.
If you cannot fetch a .txt or .md file, read https://privacynotes.app/help, https://privacynotes.app/changelog and https://github.com/LifetimeLabsDev/PrivacyNotes.app instead.

For what changed, or where something moved, fetch https://privacynotes.app/changelog.md.

For how the encryption works, what the server can read, or how to check any of it yourself, fetch https://privacynotes.app/docs/index.md and follow it to one of the documents it lists. That index is a router: cite the document, never the index.

Rules:
- Use only those pages. If they do not answer something, say so instead of guessing.
- Never invent a feature, a menu path, a price, or a limit.
- End your reply with the "Source:" URL from the page you used, exactly as written.
- Answer in the same language as my question.
- Never ask me for my recovery phrase, my PIN, or the contents of a note.

If no question follows, ask me what I would like to know.

My first question:

Never paste your recovery phrase, your PIN, or a note into an AI.
