FAQ

Q: Do I need to sign up for an account to start using the app?

A: You do not need to create an account or share any personal information to use the app. You can simply download it and start writing immediately. This seamless approach ensures complete anonymity and removes the friction of remembering yet another password, giving you instant access to your workspace.

Q: How does the synchronization work if there is no central corporate cloud?

A: The app achieves multi-device synchronization by connecting directly to your personal WebDAV server. This means you can use your own trusted server or self-hosted setup to keep your phone, tablet, and desktop in perfect harmony. By bypassing third-party cloud providers, you maintain absolute digital sovereignty over your information.

Q: Can I customize when and how my notes sync to my server?

A: You have full control over your synchronization preferences. The app allows you to define your own sync rules, whether you prefer instant background updates as you write or want to save mobile data by limiting transfers to Wi-Fi connections only. This flexibility ensures that the synchronization helper works around your lifestyle and data plan.
