SecNote is built so that we never see your data. Your notes, notebooks, habits, and voice transcripts live on your device and — if you have iCloud enabled — in your own iCloud account. 144 ("we", "us") operates no servers for SecNote, collects no analytics, shows no ads, uses no third-party trackers, and sells nothing about you to anyone.
Everything you create in SecNote — notes (including titles, details, tags, security findings, and transcripts), notebooks, and habits — is stored in a local database on your device. The local database is protected with iOS Data Protection (encrypted at rest), and you can additionally enable App Lock (Face ID / Touch ID / passcode) in Profile → Security.
If your device is signed into iCloud, SecNote syncs your content between your devices using Apple's CloudKit, in the private database tied to your Apple ID. That data is governed by Apple's privacy policy; we have no access to it, no ability to read it, and no copy of it. Turning off iCloud for SecNote in iOS Settings stops sync.
SecNote has no sign-up, no login, and no user accounts. We never ask for your name, email, or any other identifier. Sync works through the iCloud account already on your device, managed entirely by Apple.
If your device supports Apple Intelligence, you can summarize a note with a single tap. Summarization runs entirely on your device using Apple's on-device model — your note text is not sent to 144, to Apple, or to any other server. The summary is stored with the note on your device, like any other note content. This feature simply doesn't appear on devices that don't support Apple Intelligence.
Voice transcription uses Apple's Speech Recognition framework, with your permission (microphone and speech-recognition access). Audio may be processed by Apple to produce the transcript, per Apple's terms. SecNote stores only the resulting text, on your device, and does not retain audio recordings.
To show security content, SecNote fetches public feeds directly from their sources: the NIST National Vulnerability Database (CVE search), and the public news feeds of The Hacker News, BleepingComputer, KrebsOnSecurity, Dark Reading, SecurityWeek, and Reddit r/netsec. These requests retrieve content only; they do not include your notes, identity, or any personal data. The operators of those services may see ordinary request metadata (such as your IP address), as with any internet request.
SecNote Pro subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
Habit reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. They never leave it.
Nothing. SecNote contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising SDKs, and no crash-reporting services beyond what Apple provides to all developers in aggregate (which you control in iOS Settings → Privacy → Analytics).
Delete a note, notebook, or habit in the app and it's gone from your device and your iCloud sync. Deleting the app removes the local database. To remove synced data from iCloud, delete the app's iCloud data in iOS Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Manage Account Storage.
SecNote is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them (we don't collect personal information from anyone).
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the effective date above. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
