The editor supports rich formatting: headings, bold/italic/underline, bullet and numbered lists, quotes, code blocks, and links. Use Ctrl/Cmd+S to save.

You can delete any note from your dashboard at any time. To remove your account and all its data, contact us and we'll delete everything.
Passwords are stored only as secure hashes, sessions are protected against common web attacks, and shared note content is filtered before display. Still, no online service is perfect — please don't store confidential, sensitive, financial, or personal information here.
