Help & FAQ/Getting started

Can I keep an address book in PrivacyNotes?

Ask your AI agent instead

Yes. Contacts is a pillar in the sidebar, next to Notes, Tasks and Journals, and it is free on every tier. A contact holds names, numbers, emails, addresses, websites, dates, a company and a note. Tap a number to dial it, an email address to write one, or any row to copy it. Anything else your phone wrote into the file stays under Also in this file and is written back when you export.

To bring yours across, export a vCard (.vcf) from your phone, your Mac, or Google Contacts, then drop it into Settings > Import & Export > Import > "Contacts (vCard)". Import the same file again later and the people already there are matched rather than duplicated. Export writes a standard vCard back out, so your address book leaves as easily as it arrived (more on importing).

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.
