# Create UpNote account

We recommend creating an UpNote account so your notes are safely stored on our server. This ensures you can retrieve them if your device is lost or damaged. An account also allows you to sync your notes and premium access across all your devices.

You can create an account when first launching UpNote, or follow the steps below if you’re currently using UpNote without one.

### On desktop

1. Click the **`Settings`** button in the upper right corner of your UpNote window.
2. Go to **`My Account`**
3. Click **`Don't have an account?`**
