Help & FAQ/Your data

Where is my data stored?

Ask your AI agent instead

On your device first, and that is the copy you work with: the app is local-first, so your notes open and edit offline. The synced copy lives on servers in Zurich, Switzerland. What sits there is your public key, encrypted blobs of your notes, files and settings, plus the timestamps and sizes a sync needs. No titles, no text, no tags.

The country matters less than the encryption does. Everything is encrypted on your device before it leaves, so that copy would be unreadable wherever it sat: Switzerland is a bonus, not the promise. What syncs lists it item by item.

One honest limit: the copy on your device is not encrypted. Notes sit in ordinary browser storage so the app can open and search them instantly, and encryption happens at the sync boundary. Disk encryption and a screen lock are what protect that copy; the app lock keeps someone out of the app, not out of the files.
