Some notes are too personal for a regular notes app. Safety Note+ gives you a dedicated private space for personal writing, sensitive lists and ideas you want to keep separate. Unlock quickly with Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode, organize notes in folders, and choose optional sync or backup when you need it. PRIVATE ACCESS • Protect the app with a passcode or supported biometric unlock • Choose PIN, password or pattern-style access where available • Return to your notes quickly without mixing them with everyday notes DECOY AND INTRUDER FEATURES • Set a decoy password that opens alternate content • Review supported intruder reports after failed unlock attempts • Enable only the privacy features that fit your needs FOLDER-LEVEL PROTECTION • Add separate protection to selected folders • Keep personal, journal, work and other private notes organized • Use folder colors and icons to find important content faster WRITE AND ORGANIZE • Create short notes, long-form writing and private lists • Search, sort, move and copy notes • Auto-save helps preserve changes as you write • Choose from available themes SYNC, BACKUP AND DEVICE CHANGES • Keep notes on your device for a local-first workflow • Enable iCloud Sync on supported Apple devices • Use optional Cloud Backup when available • Check your backup before changing devices or deleting the app PRIVACY YOU CAN UNDERSTAND Face ID and Touch ID are handled by Apple. Safety Note+ does not receive or store your biometric face or fingerprint data. Sync and backup are optional and depend on the services you enable. Safety Note+ is designed for private notes, personal journals, sensitive lists, confidential ideas and information you prefer to keep separate from a regular notes app. Some features require an in-app purchase or subscription.
