Help & FAQ/Getting started

Can I change how the app looks?

Ask your AI agent instead

Yes. Settings > Design holds the look: Mode switches between Light, Dark and Auto, which follows your system, and you pick one color theme for light mode and one for dark. Settings > Editor holds how you write: Text size has five steps and scales your writing surface only, so the interface around it stays put, and Editor decides whether notes open Formatted or as plain Markdown. Settings > Lists lays items out as a List or a Grid. In the desktop apps, App size in Settings > Design scales the whole window. The Design button in the footer holds the settings you change most, with three favorite themes for each mode.

Color themes need Pro: the default theme is free and Pro unlocks the rest, in light and dark alike, plus themes of your own. Zen mode, which hides everything except your text (Cmd+Shift+F), is Pro too. Moving the toolbar to the top or the bottom is free, and arranging its buttons is Pro. Mode, the color themes you pick and your three favorites, text size, List or Grid, and App size stay on the device you set them on. The editor mode, line spacing, note colors and your list settings follow 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.
