🔐

Private vault

1

Create a vault

On your first attempt to create a private card, the system will ask you to create a vault with a password.

2

Choose a strong password

The password is used for encryption. If you forget it — content cannot be recovered. Keep it somewhere safe.

3

AES-256-GCM encryption

Private cards are encrypted right in the browser before being sent to the server. We physically cannot read their content.

4

Unlocking

Each new session requires entering the vault password to decrypt private cards. The key is stored only in browser memory.

The file contains all your cards with titles, content, tags and categories.
