MEMBER NOTES — QUICK TIPS

What this is: a private notes pad for this page. Your notes are end-to-end encrypted in your browser and can be synced so you can pick them up later.

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.
  4. Full step-by-step ↗

Export

  • Export as Markdown / Plain TXT (when unlocked). On desktop: under More → Export. On mobile: tap the Export button.
  • Save as PDF… uses your browser’s print dialog.

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.
