An editorial reading of the saved reviews

An ultra-minimalist password-protected notepad that appeals to those who want to write without distractions. The single fatal product flaw: no password recovery and no cloud backup, so users lose years of entries.

What users experience

4 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

My texting can't keep up with my mind. I had recording my entries but I don't see that as an option since I made an entry today. Is there a reason for this? This really sucks.

This app is so useless! I forgot my pin ,I tried all pins I use but it won't open!…no forgot password option…I deleted the app maybe I'd be able to have access to my stuffs!!! Can't believe everything is gone!! I kept vital information about my life since 2021!! Only for it to be gone in a wink!!

I love this app for what it is but once I forgot my password to get in because it's been a while and there's literally nothing you can do to get back in if you don't know it. If you guess too many times it just locks you out. I can't believe there's no feature to ask you a secret question or to send an email.

I loveeeee love love this app but I can't remember my password and I really don't want to lose all my previous journal entries the only reason I gave three stars is there's no option to recover your password.
