Questions before switching from Privnote
Is this a Privnote clone?
No. This page targets the same private-note use case, but generated links use the normal LOCK.PUB password unlock flow and dashboard model.
Do I need an account before creating a note?
No. You can create the first note immediately. LOCK.PUB creates a guest session on submit, then offers account save after the link is created.
Can I see whether the note was opened?
Basic open counts appear on links you manage. Detailed read receipts and analytics are positioned as a Pro upgrade.
Should I send the password in the same chat as the link?
No. Send the password through a separate channel when the note is sensitive.
