In standard mode your encryption key is also kept on our server, so you can recover your notes on a new phone; that also means our server could decrypt them. Turn on zero-knowledge mode and the key is locked with a passphrase only you know, so we cannot read your notes. Reminder text and times are sent to our server so it can deliver the notification, and are not end-to-end encrypted. We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to improve the app; when you are signed in they receive your account ID, never your notes or searches. Free and Pinpoint Pro Free: notes on your phone without limit, sync for up to 50 notes, 5 folders, 3 attachments per note, 20 text scans and 10 exports a month, and voice memos up to 2 minutes.
