Help & FAQ/Sync & devices

Can I stop the app from uploading files over mobile data?

Ask your AI agent instead

On Android, yes. Open Settings > ID & Sync and turn on "Files on wifi only". Your notes keep syncing on any connection, because text is tiny. Only images and attachments wait, and they go up the moment wifi comes back rather than sitting out the next retry.

Android is where the switch lives, because Android is the one platform whose app view reports wifi against cellular reliably, and a switch that guesses is worse than no switch. On a metered connection anywhere else, "Pause sync" does the same job with a bigger hammer and works everywhere.

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.
