Documentation/Getting Started/Getting Started in 60 Seconds

Welcome to DulyNote. In just one minute, you can begin capturing and organizing information with complete local control. Unlike services that store data on external servers, DulyNote keeps everything on your device, secured with your own encryption keys.

1. Capture Content Quickly

DulyNote makes it easy to save what matters using multiple input methods:

  • Direct Share: Use the Share or Send File option in any app and select DulyNote.
  • In-App Capture: Tap the (+) button to add a note, web link, or media item.
  • Copy and Paste: Copy a link, open DulyNote, tap (+), and save instantly.

2. Automatic Metadata Enrichment

DulyNote automatically extracts titles, descriptions, and high-quality thumbnails from links. PDFs are rendered with a preview of the first page for easy reference. No extra steps required.

3. Secure Data Exports

When exporting your collection as a .dnote package, you may enable AES-256-GCM encryption.

  • An export-specific Recovery Key is generated during encryption.
  • This 32-character key is required to decrypt the package.
  • DulyNote does not store recovery keys — please save them securely (for example, in a password manager).

4. Privacy by Design

All data is stored locally by default. There is no cloud sync, tracking, or third-party access. You remain in full control of your information at all times.

💡 Tip Enable Visual Vault in Settings to hide titles and text, displaying a clean, thumbnail-only view of your collection.
