Everything lives on your device. Nothing leaves unless you choose. Here's how it all fits together.
DulyNote is local-first. When you save a link, write a note, or add a photo, it goes straight to your device — not a server, not a cloud, not anywhere else. There is no account to create. No email to verify. Nothing tied to your identity.

DulyNote separates what you own from what you've received. This keeps your personal saves clean and distinct from shared content.
Everything you save yourself. Links you bookmarked, notes you wrote, photos you added, files you imported. This is your personal space — organized by tags, searchable, and entirely yours.
Content that arrives from outside — items shared to you via a .dnote package, or content imported from another profile. Your Inbox is a staging area: review it, then move what you want into your Collection.
The separation keeps your personal saves clean — what you own vs. what you've received never gets mixed up.
.dnote fileThe .dnote file is DulyNote's portable package format. It bundles your saves — notes, links, media, files — into a single transferable file that you control completely.
Back up your data
Export your entire profile or the whole app as a .dnote file. Store it anywhere — your phone, a USB drive, your laptop.
Restore on any device
Move from iPhone to Android? No problem. Import your .dnote file and everything comes back exactly as it was.
Share a collection
Export a specific profile or collection as a .dnote package and share it with someone. They import it into their Inbox.
Export Current Profile → .dnote
Packages everything in your active profile — My Collection, Inbox, and Tags — into a single .dnote file.
Export Entire App → .dnoteapp
Packages all profiles across the entire app into one .dnoteapp file. The ultimate full backup.
Optional encryption
Before exporting, you can choose to encrypt the package with a unique key. Only someone with that key can open it. DulyNote never stores or sees your key — it's yours alone.
Keep different parts of your life completely separate. Work, personal, research, family — each profile is its own isolated space with its own collection, inbox, and tags.

Isolated profile
Want to combine two profiles? Export one as a .dnote package, switch to your main profile, and import it. The content lands in your Inbox, ready to review and organize.
For an extra layer of protection on shared devices, DulyNote supports PIN-based app lock with optional biometrics.
6-digit PIN
Set a PIN in Settings > App Security. The app requires it on every open.
Face ID / Touch ID
Enable biometrics for quick, secure access without typing your PIN every time.
Lock Delay
Choose how quickly the app locks when you switch away — immediately, or after a short grace period.
Important: Because DulyNote is local-first, we cannot recover or reset your PIN. If you forget it and don't have a backup, you may lose access to your data. Keep a .dnote backup somewhere safe.
No account. No tracking. No audience. Just you and your saves.
