Private notes, private notebooks, app lock and what the AI can see

You control what the AI sees, note by note and notebook by notebook.

Turn a note private from its Private switch, or make a notebook private when you create or edit it. While a notebook is private, links to its notes stop working.

Private isn’t encryption: private notes are still stored on HyperMemory’s servers so they sync between your devices. Private controls what the AI and your agents can use.

Turn the AI off

Settings → Memory → AI enhanced notes turns off AI reading for all notes. Two more switches there control the link between notes and your memory — see Notes and your memory.

App lock

Settings → App lock protects the app with a PIN and Face ID or your fingerprint. With app lock on:

  • the app is covered in the app switcher;
  • notification previews don’t show note content.

Location tagging

On by default. Each new note gets a place name, shown under Meta data. For notes that go to your memory, the place is visible to your agents. Turn it off in Settings → Location tagging.

Usage analytics

The app sends anonymous usage analytics to help improve it — never the content of your notes. Turn it off in Settings → Share usage analytics.

The services the AI uses

When the AI reads a note, these services may process it:

ServiceFor
OpenRouter, normally with zero-data-retention routing and data_collection: denyLanguage models that read and summarise notes. Batch note import is a documented exception that may use a provider endpoint retaining requests while still denying provider data collection.
