Later, if useful

Future online services stay optional

If Onnoir adds online services later, they will be opt-in and priced separately. Sync and Publish are planned as separate choices, not requirements for opening, writing, backing up, or exporting your local library.

Onnoir Sync

Coming

Optional encrypted sync for people who want the same library available on more than one device.

  • • Designed as a separate service, not a requirement for the desktop app
  • • Intended for device-to-device continuity while keeping private content protected
  • • Pricing, availability, and recovery rules will be published before launch

Onnoir Publish

Coming

Optional publishing for selected notes you choose to share.

  • • Local notes stay private unless you publish a selected piece
  • • Built for controlled sharing, not automatic public profiles or silent uploads
  • • Publishing terms, controls, and takedown behavior will be documented before launch
