Deleted notes are permanently removed after 30 days. Restoring a note also restores its subnotes.

Plainlish is a public-beta, local-first notebook. Notes stay in this browser; there is no account or automatic cloud copy. Locked-note bodies are encrypted before they are stored.

Browser storage can be cleared by you, your browser, or the operating system. Keep a recent full .plainlish export somewhere safe.
