## What is Privy?

Privy is a private place for everything you write.
  
  Notes, journals, lists, ideas, the things you'd never put in a regular notes app. Write it
  all in one calm, beautiful space, then lock what matters behind your own key.
  
  Privacy isn't a setting you switch on. It's the default. No account, no login, no cloud you
  don't control. Your words live on your device, and the developer has zero access to them.
  
  WRITE ANYTHING
  Quick notes, long entries, daily journals, checklists, plans. Add photos, record a voice
  memo, or scan a document straight into a note. Rich text and reminders are built in.
  
  LOCK IT DOWN
  Protect the whole app with a passcode or Face ID, and seal individual notes behind their own
  password. Locked notes reveal nothing. Not a preview, not a title, not a word.
  
  A SPACE FOR EVERY PART OF LIFE
  Keep things in separate Vaults. Work, personal, health, travel, the private stuff. Each one
  is its own walled-off space, and you can give the sensitive ones their own password.
  
  PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
  There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into. Open the app and start writing. Your
  notes never leave your phone unless you choose to sync them through your own iCloud.
  
  MAKE IT YOURS
  Light, Dark, and a soft Pink theme. Choose your font and text size. Pin the notes you reach
  for most.
  
  CALM BY DESIGN
  No streaks, no badges, no pressure. Just a quiet place to think and keep what's yours.
  
  WHAT YOU CAN DO
  - Write notes, journals, and lists with rich text, photos, voice notes, and scans
  - Lock the app with a passcode or Face ID
  - Password-protect individual notes and entire vaults
  - Organize everything into separate, private vaults
  - Pin important notes to the top
  - Search everything in seconds
  - Export any note as text or PDF
  - Set gentle reminders
  - Three themes, multiple fonts and sizes
  
  YOUR DATA IS YOURS
  Privy is local-first. No accounts, no servers collecting your notes, no tracking. Optional
  sync uses your own private iCloud, so your notes move between your devices without ever
  passing through us.
  
  Write it down. Lock it up. Keep it private.

PRIVY PRO
  A one-time purchase (no subscription) unlocks: unlimited
  vaults, a separate password for each vault, document
  scanning, PDF export, and the Light and Pink themes with
  accent colors. Everything else — writing, photos, voice
  notes, app lock, locking individual notes, and your first
  vault — is free.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-01

Bulk delete, a calmer editor, and a feed with a front page.

CLEAR NOTES IN BULK
Select as many notes as you like and delete them in one go. Locked notes ask for your password once, not once each.

A CALMER EDITOR
Formatting now sits above the keyboard, where your thumb already is, and shows up only while you're actually writing. Translate, camera, photos, voice and tags stay one tap away.

A FEED WITH A FRONT PAGE
Your newest note takes the full width, cards fit what you wrote instead of a fixed box, and older entries quietly recede.

FIXED
The end of a long note is reachable again. If you had a long list that seemed to lock partway down and bounce back, that's sorted.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-21

Folders and Vaults
  
  Not everything needs a lock. You can now create open Folders for simple organization,
  right alongside your password-protected Vaults. When you make a new space, just choose: no
  lock, your note password, or its own password — and you can change it anytime in
  settings.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-17

No release notes.
