Privacy mode

Privacy mode stops other software from seeing what's on your screen while Notesnook is open — screenshots, screen recorders and remote-desktop tools get a blank window instead of your notes.

::: warning Not available on Linux Privacy mode is not available on Linux.

Privacy mode enables some OS specific settings to enhance your privacy while working in Notesnook. This includes:

Disable screen capture
Disabling window previews

Go to {{settings}}
Open {{privacyAndSecurity}}
Click {{privacy}}
Click toggle next to {{privacyMode}} to enable/disable privacy mode.

::: info Privacy mode prevents screen capturing software from capturing Notesnook. That includes tools like TeamViewer, AnyDesk and RustDesk.

On Android, it'll also show a blank screen in the Activity Switcher & taking a screenshot will show an error.

:::

Hide note titles from your window title

Separately from privacy mode, the desktop and web apps can keep the open note's title out of the browser tab and the window title bar, so a note called "Divorce lawyer" doesn't appear in a screen share or on a projector.

Go to {{settings}}.
Open {{privacyAndSecurity}} > {{privacy}}.
Turn on {{hideNoteTitle}}.

App lock — require a PIN, password or biometrics to open Notesnook
Private vault — encrypt individual notes behind a second password
