Offline

As part of our mission to keep your data safe for the next hundred years, we want to ensure you have the right tools to handle worst-case scenarios.

The encryption algorithms involved in securing your data are completely open-source and non-proprietary, so you don't have to rely on us for your data to be safe and valid.

To further your protections against general disruptions in your network or ours, we've created a single page offline decryption tool that can run in any browser.

Decrypting a Backup Offline

Download the offline decrypt script and open it with any browser.

You can right click the link above and choose "Save link as", or open the page directly and save the page with Cmd/Ctrl + S.

Always make sure you get this script from a trusted source, such as our website.

Creating Backups

There are two ways to create backups of your note data:

• Manual: In the "Account" menu of the Standard Notes app, in the lower left corner, you will see options for downloading encrypted or decrypted archives of your data.

• Automatic: Our Extended subscription creates automatic and real-time backups of all your data to your Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive, with other cloud providers being added soon.

Building the script yourself

This script was built with Node.js v14. Make sure it is installed on your system. Then, in the repo, run the following commands:

• yarn install
• yarn run build

(You can replace yarn with npm if you want)

This will output a new dist/decrypt.html file.
