Encrypted on your device.
Your notes, attachments, settings, and file and folder names are encrypted on your device before they’re uploaded. Vault and device names aren’t.
All your notes, on all your devices.
Private by design
Sync works quietly in the background. For each vault you sync, you choose Standard or End-to-end.
Standard: no passphrase.
Papeliz keeps the vault’s key, so the vault opens on any device you sign in on. It also means Papeliz could read it.
End-to-end: only you can read it.
The vault has its own passphrase, which Papeliz never receives. Papeliz can’t read the vault, and can’t recover the passphrase if you forget it.
Your AI stays yours.
Sync never carries an AI request, and your AI provider keys never sync. The assistant talks straight to your provider.

Write anywhere, lose nothing
Edit the same vault on two devices, even the same note. Sync brings the edits together.
Line by line.
Edits from two devices merge. If both changed the same line, Papeliz asks which to keep.
In the background.
Sync runs while you write, and catches up on changes made while Papeliz was closed.
Still your files.
On every device, your notes stay plain Markdown files. Sync keeps the copies the same.

A few more details
What does Sync keep in sync?
Your notes, attachments such as pictures and PDFs, and the vault’s own Papeliz settings. Assistant chats and app settings sync too, unless you turn them off. AI provider keys never sync: you paste yours on each device.
What if two devices edit the same note?
The edits merge line by line. If both devices changed the same line, Papeliz asks you which to keep. Nothing is dropped.
What if I forget my passphrase?
Only End-to-end vaults have a passphrase, and Papeliz can’t recover it. If you forget it, choose Remove from Sync for that vault, then turn Sync on again from a device that still has its notes. The notes on your devices stay as they are.
Can I switch a vault between Standard and End-to-end?
Only by syncing it again: choose Remove from Sync for that vault, then turn Sync on with the other choice. The notes on your devices stay as they are.
Where is my synced data stored?
In the place you pick when you sign up for Sync: Eastern North America, Western North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific or Oceania. Papeliz marks the one nearest you. Europe is stored in the EU. You pick once, and it stays there.
How do I sign in on a device?
Signing in opens when Sync launches. In Papeliz, choose Sign In in the Settings gear’s Sync or Account page, or on the start page’s Synced Vaults. Papeliz opens papeliz.com/account in a new tab. If your browser blocks the tab, press the Sign In link that shows instead. The device then stays signed in until you sign it out, remove it, or delete your account.
Can I get an older version of a note back?
Yes. Sync keeps old versions of your files for as long as your plan’s version history lasts. With the note open, choose Old Versions in the Settings gear’s Sync page to look at one or restore it. Old versions count toward your storage, and you can delete them to free up space. Each plan’s version history
Does Sync send my notes to an AI?
No. Sync never carries an AI request. The assistant still talks straight to the provider you chose, with your own key.
How many devices can I use?
As many as you like, on the web, desktop and mobile. Up to 20 can be connected at once on a paid plan, and 2 on Free.
