You choose what to store and share
You control the content you enter and the destinations you choose for exports, sync and sharing. Keep any permissions needed for material copied from other people. Using a feature does not remove someone else’s rights in that source material.
NoteTisa’s third-party software licences are separate from your notes. See the software notices. This notice does not assign a new commercial licence to the NoteTisa application code.
Make a recoverable backup
- Open the workspace and choose Options → Data and backup → Save a backup.
- Include original attachments and recordings. A document export is not necessarily a full notebook backup.
- Keep dated backup files outside the browser and confirm that they appear in Files or Downloads.
- Protect sensitive readable exports. Keep any encryption password separately and safely.
- Test restoring a copy in a separate browser profile before trusting your backup routine.
Browser saving is not a backup. Storage cleanup, private browsing, device loss and clearing site data can remove the local notebook. Installing the web app does not guarantee storage retention.
Move or restore carefully
Full backup restoration can replace a notebook. Make a safety backup of the destination before accepting a replacement. Scoped portable snapshots are imported as copies, not used as full-notebook replacements. Keep originals until you verify note contents, relationships, recordings and annotations.
A different browser or domain has separate storage. Optional sync is not enabled automatically. Continue using the existing workspace address; a new address will not automatically reveal the old browser’s records.
Where copies remain
| Copy | Retention and removal |
|---|---|
| Local notes, history and media | Remain in browser storage until removed by you or the browser/device. Deleted items can remain in the Recycle Bin until emptied. Clear site data only after making and checking a backup. |
| Cloud notebook and shared-folder files | Provider retention, trash and version rules apply. Disconnecting sync stops that connection; it does not delete the provider’s stored files. Remove unwanted files and revoke access in that provider’s account. |
| Backups and document exports | Remain wherever you saved or sent them. Delete them, their trash copies and any separately retained versions at those destinations. |
| Published or shared content | Remove posts or shared files at the destination. Other people may retain copies. Local deletion cannot retract an email, download or screenshot. |
| AI and hosting records | The recipient’s policy applies. Clearing the notebook does not submit a deletion request to an AI provider or hosting platform. |
Current practical limits
The attachment library currently limits files to 10 MB each and 100 MB total. Device/browser quotas can impose lower limits. Local OCR currently supports English, with additional source-size and image-resolution limits shown in the tool. Playback depends on browser codec support.
See Help before attempting recovery. Do not clear site data as a first troubleshooting step.
