Keep sensitive notes in a private, on-device vault
Some notes aren't meant for the cloud. SyncNote's private vault holds your sensitive notes behind a passcode, encrypted locally on your device — never uploaded, never synced.
How the vault protects your notes
Locked with a passcode
The vault is protected by a passcode you set, with optional biometric unlock on supported devices.
Encrypted locally
Vault notes are encrypted on your device with a key derived from your passcode, and are tamper-evident.
Never leaves your device
Vault notes are never uploaded to cloud backup and never synced to paired devices.
What the vault is good for
Use the vault for anything you'd rather keep off the cloud entirely — personal drafts, sensitive details, private plans, or account information you jot down for yourself. Regular notes stay flexible and syncable; vault notes stay strictly on-device.
How it fits with the rest of SyncNote
Everyday notes can sync between your phone and computer or be protected with encrypted cloud backup. The vault is the opposite end of the spectrum: maximum privacy, on-device only. You choose per note where it belongs.
Frequently asked questions
Are vault notes uploaded anywhere?
No. Vault notes are never uploaded to backup and never synced. They exist only on the device where you created them.
What happens if I forget my passcode?
Vault notes cannot be recovered without the passcode. Keep it somewhere safe.
Can I unlock with biometrics?
Yes, optional biometric unlock is supported on devices that have it, on top of your passcode.
How is the vault different from cloud backup?
Cloud backup encrypts notes and stores them so you can restore on a new device. The vault keeps notes on-device only. Read the details.
