Export your Standard Notes

Standard Notes offers a decrypted backup export, and that is the file PrivacyNotes reads. One important detail up front: it must be the decrypted variant, not the encrypted one.

Ask your AI agent instead

Export your notes from Standard Notes

  1. Open Standard Notes (web at app.standardnotes.com, or the desktop app) and sign in.
  2. Open Preferences, then the Backups section.
  3. Download a data backup and choose the decrypted format when asked.
  4. You get a .zip containing a file named "Standard Notes Backup and Import File.txt". Keep the zip as it is.

Encrypted backups are not supported

An encrypted Standard Notes backup is ciphertext that only your Standard Notes password can open, so the importer cannot read it. If you exported the encrypted variant, export again and pick decrypted. Since the file contains your notes in plain text, delete it after the import is done.

Drop the whole .zip into the importer, or just the .txt file if you already unzipped it.

Import into PrivacyNotes

  1. Open PrivacyNotes and go to Settings > Import & Export.
  2. Pick Standard Notes as the source.
  3. Drop in the file you just exported, or click to browse.
  4. Check what the preview says will arrive, then start the import.

Answer my questions about PrivacyNotes using only its help center, its changelog and its security documentation.

Start here: https://privacynotes.app/llms-index.txt
It lists every question with the page that answers it. Fetch the one or two that match mine.
If you can only make one request, fetch https://privacynotes.app/llms-full.txt instead.
If you cannot fetch a .txt or .md file, read https://privacynotes.app/help, https://privacynotes.app/changelog and https://github.com/LifetimeLabsDev/PrivacyNotes.app instead.

For what changed, or where something moved, fetch https://privacynotes.app/changelog.md.

For how the encryption works, what the server can read, or how to check any of it yourself, fetch https://privacynotes.app/docs/index.md and follow it to one of the documents it lists. That index is a router: cite the document, never the index.

Rules:
- Use only those pages. If they do not answer something, say so instead of guessing.
- Never invent a feature, a menu path, a price, or a limit.
- End your reply with the "Source:" URL from the page you used, exactly as written.
- Answer in the same language as my question.
- Never ask me for my recovery phrase, my PIN, or the contents of a note.

If no question follows, ask me what I would like to know.

My first question:

Never paste your recovery phrase, your PIN, or a note into an AI.
