DulyNote stores your data locally. Regular backups ensure you can recover your library if you switch devices, lose your phone, or need to reinstall the app.
Creating a Full Backup
- Open DulyNote and go to Settings → Backup & Export.
- Tap Create Backup.
- (Recommended) Enable Encryption and save the generated Recovery Key securely.
- Choose a destination: iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, local Files app, or share via AirDrop.
- DulyNote generates a .dnote package containing all your collections, notes, links, files, and media.
Restoring Your Data
- Install DulyNote on your device.
- Go to Settings → Backup & Export → Restore from Package.
- Locate your .dnote backup file.
- If encrypted, enter your Recovery Key when prompted.
- DulyNote will restore your full library.
About the .dnote Format
The .dnote format is DulyNote's portable archive format. It is a structured package that includes:
- All collection metadata (titles, tags, timestamps)
- All linked URLs with their saved metadata
- All attached files and media
- A digital signature for integrity verification
- Optional AES-256-GCM encryption layer
⚠️ Important
Store your Recovery Key in a secure location such as a password manager. DulyNote cannot recover it for you — it is never transmitted to or stored on any server.
