Getting Started with EncNotex — A Quick Setup Guide
1. Install and open EncNotex
- Download the official EncNotex app for your platform (desktop or mobile) and install it.
- Launch the app and allow any requested permissions required for local storage.
2. Create your account
- Tap “Sign Up” and enter an email and strong password.
- Tip: Use a unique password manager-generated passphrase (12+ characters).
3. Set up encryption
- When prompted, create a recovery passphrase or passkey. Store it offline (written or in a password manager).
- Optionally enable biometric unlock (fingerprint/Face ID) for quicker access — this stores the key locally.
4. Configure sync (optional)
- Choose between local-only storage or cloud sync.
- If using cloud sync, link your preferred cloud account and verify sync settings (end-to-end encryption should remain enabled).
5. Create your first notebook and note
- Tap “New Notebook” to organize content by topic.
- Create a note, add a title, and type or paste content. Use formatting tools (bold, lists, code blocks) as needed.
6. Organize and search
- Use tags or folders to categorize notes.
- Test the search bar with keywords to confirm indexing and quick retrieval.
7. Share and export
- To share, use the app’s encrypted share function or export as an encrypted file.
- Verify recipients can decrypt (they may need the recovery passphrase or a shared key).
8. Backup and recovery
- Export an encrypted backup and store it offline.
- Confirm your recovery passphrase works by testing restore on a secondary device (if available).
9. Security best practices
- Use a password manager for account credentials and recovery passphrases.
- Keep biometric unlock enabled only on personal devices.
- Regularly update the app to get security fixes.
