How to use

1. Type → Save & Lock → Safe. Locking encrypts and saves your notes.
2. Unlock to edit. You’ll enter your passphrase to decrypt.

Sync states

• Synced: encrypted copy on server (still private).
• Local: only on this device until you Save & Lock with Sync on.
• Locked: read-only until you enter your passphrase.
• Unlocked: editable; remember to Save & Lock when done.

Passphrase tips

• Use a short phrase you’ll remember (about 4–5 words).
• We never store your passphrase. If you forget it, we can’t unlock your notes.

Restore notes (when the box looks empty)

1. Shows “Unlock”? Click Unlock and enter your passphrase.
2. Banner: “We found synced notes for this page…” → enter your passphrase to Sync & Retrieve, then Unlock.
3. No message? Close the Member Notes box (click the badge), then open it again; enter your passphrase if prompted.

Common questions

• Blurred notes? They’re locked. Click Unlock.
• Synced but empty? Click Unlock to reveal synced notes.
• Can you read my notes? No—end-to-end encrypted.

Troubleshooting

• Forgot passphrase: cannot decrypt. Use Reset to start fresh.
• Cleared history: with Sync on, reopen the box and Unlock to pull the synced copy.
• Unlock fails: re-enter carefully; ensure Sync state is correct; refresh and try again.

Finding the Notes Shelf

• Where it lives: A rounded Member Notes button sits at the bottom-center of the page.
• When it appears: It becomes visible after the page finishes loading and you scroll a little. If you don’t see it, try a small scroll.
• Open / close: Click or tap the Member Notes button to open the editor; click the button again (or the “×” inside the box) to close.
• Keyboard access: Press Tab until the Member Notes button is focused, then press Enter or Space.
• If it blends with the page: Watch the bottom edge—on first visits the button may show a subtle ring. You can also briefly scroll down/up to reveal it.
• Mobile: Scroll slightly and look at the bottom-center; tap the Member Notes button to open/close.
• During full-page print: The shelf hides automatically so it won’t appear in your PDF printout.
