Lock password

UpNote allows you to lock notebooks or the entire app for extra privacy. The lock password works differently on desktop and mobile to give you convenient and secure access on each device.

Note: UpNote does not support locking individual notes. To protect a specific note, place it inside a locked notebook.

💡 Tips

• Locking applies to notebooks, not individual notes. Place sensitive notes inside a locked notebook for protection.

• Desktop and mobile app lock settings are managed separately for flexibility.

• Locking a notebook protects all notes and nested notebooks inside it.
