Deleting Volt does not cancel. β€’ Eligible earlier paid-app buyers and verified earlier Pro-unlock holders keep access without subscribing.

Protected notes are excluded. β€’ Notes stay on your device unless you enable sync or choose a transfer. Optional app-use and reliability measurement is off until you agree and excludes note content. No ads or cross-app advertising tracking. β€’ Some tools need compatible hardware, operating systems, languages, permissions, or installed Apple assets. New Notes-schema Siri actions need supported OS 27 devices. Watch capture transfers through a paired iPhone. iCloud requires an Apple Account and available storage; it is not a backup. Keep note passwords safeβ€”we cannot recover them.
