How do I know an automatic backup worked?
Ask your AI agent insteadLook at "Recent backups" in SettingsBackupAutomatic. A good backup has a green tick and the word "Checked": PrivacyNotes opened the file again with your key before it saved it, and then read the saved copy back from the folder to make sure it matches byte for byte.
A backup that fails a check is not kept, your older copies stay, and the app tells you why, for example that the folder is not there. "No changes, nothing written" means nothing changed since the last backup, so no new file was needed. To test a file yourself, restore it: a restore into the same account changes nothing.

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.
