Help & FAQ/Getting started

Can tables add up numbers, like a total or an average?

Ask your AI agent instead

Yes. Type = in a table cell to pick a function, or write the formula yourself. The cell shows the answer instead of the text, and every answer updates the moment you change a cell it reads. Cells are named by column letter and row number, and the header counts as row 1, so your first row of data is row 2. The answers work on every account; picking from the menu is Pro.

To try everything at once, download the example note, then open Settings > Import & Export > Import, choose Markdown files and pick the file.

Example note (.md)

These are the functions, and they combine with +, -, *, / and brackets:

  • SUM, PRODUCT, AVG, MEDIAN, MIN, MAX and COUNT work across a range, as in =SUM(B2:B10)
  • ABS, SQRT, SIGN, CEIL, FLOOR, ROUND and LOG work on one value, as in =ROUND(B7, 2)
  • PI, E, TAU and PHI are constants, and RAND gives a random number
  • =B7-B2 subtracts one cell from another, and =SUM(B2:B10)*0.2 takes a percentage of a total

Click a cell that shows an answer and the formula comes back, ready to change. Your note stores the formula itself, never the result, so an export and any other Markdown app show =SUM(B2:B10) exactly as you wrote it.

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/LifetimeLabsHQ/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.
