Everything you need to know about WebColorNote's architecture, offline capabilities, secure sync, and encrypted vaults.

Offline-First Design

WebColorNote is built from the ground up to be offline-first. All of your notes, folders, tags, and settings are stored locally in your browser's local sandbox environment (using localStorage and IndexDB systems). Your personal notes and thoughts never leave your browser unless you decide to backup or sync them explicitly.

Secure Google Cloud Sync

You can seamlessly synchronize your workspace across multiple devices using your own Google Drive account. WebColorNote communicates directly with Google servers through secure OAuth credentials. It creates a dedicated application configuration space on your Drive container, ensuring no middleman, telemetry servers, or developer keys ever gain access to your private documents.

End-to-End Vault Encryption Critical

For absolute safety, you can encrypt your entire note collection using a private master password using highly secure **AES-256-GCM** vault algorithms right within your browser before any sync cycle takes place. Your master password is never stored locally or remotely.

Password Loss Warning

If you lose or forget your master password, your notes will become permanently unrecoverable. Because we do not run middleman databases or user directory accounts, there are zero server reset options. Please regularly export your documents as an unencrypted JSON backup to keep them perfectly safe in a separate vault location.

Supported Import Formats

Transitioning to WebColorNote is simple. In addition to standard **Markdown (.md)** files and our native **JSON Backup** standard, WebColorNote provides first-class support for importing and reading databases from these popular tools:

SN (Simplenote)

Import your Simplenote JSON database files seamlessly with preserved markdown contents.

CN (ColorNote)

Easily upload backups exported from ColorNote database setups to easily transition your files.
