Help & FAQ/Getting started

Can I edit a folder of Markdown files from my own disk?

Ask your AI agent instead

Yes. Open the Markdown pillar in the sidebar, pick a folder of .md and .txt files, and edit them in the same editor you use for notes. Subfolders appear on their own, edits save straight back to the file, and nothing is converted, so the same folder keeps working in Obsidian, in a git repo, or in your own scripts. Save to my notes copies any file, or a whole selection, into your encrypted notes in one click and leaves the original where it is. All of it is free on every tier.

Those files stay on your disk exactly as you left them: we never upload them, they never sync to your other devices, and nothing is converted on the way in or out. It works in the desktop app on any computer, and in Chrome, Edge or Opera in the browser, because opening a folder straight from disk is a desktop capability.

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.
