Help & FAQ/Getting started

Which Markdown syntax does the editor understand?

Ask your AI agent instead

Standard Markdown formats live as you type: headings, emphasis, strikethrough and highlight, bulleted and numbered lists, task lists (Tab and Shift+Tab nest any list, checklists included), quotes, dividers, inline code and code blocks with syntax highlighting, inline and block math (KaTeX), and note-links between notes with autocomplete.

The formatting toolbar and its Insert menu add the rest: tables, callouts in nine types that can fold closed, underline, superscript and subscript, text alignment, text and highlight colors, fonts, links, images, and file attachments. Everything round-trips as Markdown: "Show markdown" below any note reveals the raw source, and exports are clean .md files, so nothing you write is locked into a proprietary format.

Still stuck? Ask your AI agent.

You get an answer in seconds instead of waiting for a reply. Your assistant reads all 92 answers and every import guide at once, so it can combine them, follow up on your question, and explain it in your own words. We never see any of it, because we do not run a chatbot.

  1. Copy the prompt.
  2. Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other AI assistant.
  3. Ask your question, in your own language.
  4. Keep that chat open. Next time, ask straight away.

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.
