Help & FAQ/Getting started

How do folders work, and do I need Pro for them?

Ask your AI agent instead

Folders nest as deeply as you like and live in the sidebar. Browsing them is free on every tier. Creating one, renaming it, or moving a note into it ("New folder" and "Move to folder") is where Pro starts, so a free account can always read a structure it imported or built while on Pro. An "Unfiled" row lists every note that sits in no folder.

A note lives in one folder at a time, the way a file does. Reach for tags when something belongs in two places at once. The folder is stored inside the encrypted note, so the server sees your structure no better than it sees your text.

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.
