PrivacyNotes

Help & FAQ/Backup & restore

Which apps can make automatic backups?

Ask your AI agent instead

The desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux, the Android app and the iPhone app all write backups into the folder you pick, with no click. In the browser, Chrome, Edge and other browsers built on Chrome do the same, after you allow PrivacyNotes to write to the folder (why the browser asks again).

Firefox and Safari cannot write into a folder. There, PrivacyNotes tells you when a backup is due, and one click on "Download backup" saves the file to your downloads. The desktop app also makes backups while its window is closed to the tray (when a backup runs).

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/LifetimeLabsHQ/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.
