MonoJot is local-first. That is good for privacy and speed, but it comes with responsibilities you should understand.

Where notes are stored

Notes are stored in your browser on your device. MonoJot does not provide server-side note storage and does not keep a remote copy of your library.

What Screen Lock does

Screen Lock hides the app behind a PIN on shared devices or when someone else might pick up your computer.

What Screen Lock does not do

Screen Lock is not encryption. It is not a secure vault. It should not be used as your only protection for highly sensitive information.

Browser data matters

If you clear site data, reset the browser profile, or use an aggressive cleanup tool, your notes may be deleted. Download backups regularly.

Shared note links can contain the note content inside the link. MonoJot does not upload the note, but anyone with the full link can read the shared content.
