I can’t consider availing myself of all the unarguable benefits of RemNote absent the ability to secure my data locally (and keep it only there as I decide) or with zero-knowledge encryption on your servers.
Any plans to protect user data?
In the desktop app you can create Local Only Knowledge Bases. These are never synced.

Yes, that is a good point. Hosted notes are by definition vulnerable. Banks, corporations and government servers are broken into, and that will happen. Amazon servers are under constant attack. Web 3.0, Tim Berbers-Lee initiative and the https://ipfs.io/#why initiatives are all local only storage and promote a distributed web. From there you share what you want to share. You own your data, not servers from Facebook or in this case Remote. While Remote will not read our data, having our data on their servers is making you vulnerable. It will be stolen, destroyed etc. Which I why it is wonderful that they already have a desktop local only storage version. I hope it will on par with the hosted version. I asked during the community session if they will be developing with IPFS in mind. Many applications are being developed already - like anytime.io. Encryption is only a partial solution, but I support that.

Our local-only knowledge bases support all of the features of the synced version - I would give that a try!

Yes, I know Martin, I am using the desktop version too. However, if I export a raw file from my online version and import this to the local desktop version. Sometimes graphics (simple jpg pr png and the PDF’s are not imported. Also, if you want to share a page from a local desktop file, it shows the card first and then the text, which is odd.
Also a refresh of the page CMD-R does not work on the Mac. A white page results and I have to Quit to have the page appear again. I guess these are issues you will address. Thanks.
