Guides for notes you own and automations you can audit
Short, practical guides to local-first Markdown notes, reviewable AI organization, and deployment-dependent cloud automations in Echo Notes.
01 · Guides
Start with the workflow you need
Each guide explains what Echo Notes does, where the boundary is, and how to verify the result yourself. Pick the topic that matches your next task.
Offline Markdown notes
How local-first note-taking keeps editing available offline and syncs pending changes when you reconnect.
AI note organization with human approval
How classification plans are proposed first, applied only for approved items, and supported with undo where available.
Cloud automation basics
What server-run automations can do in enabled deployments: schedules, public sources, run history, delivery, and audit records.
02 · How to use these guides
Read the boundary before you rely on it
Every guide follows the same structure so you can skim fast: a direct answer, the definition, the steps, a checklist, the limitations, and the Echo Notes practice. The limitations section is not fine print; it tells you when a feature needs a connection or an enabled deployment.
- Your problem
- You want to know whether a workflow works offline, needs approval, or depends on the deployment operator.
- Product behavior
- Guides state the availability condition up front and link to the Features page and the Privacy Policy for details.
- Your result
- You can choose the right workflow before writing the first note or configuring the first task.

FAQ
Questions about these guides
Are these guides part of the product documentation?
They are introductory guides. The Features page and the Privacy Policy remain the authoritative references for product behavior.
Do the guides apply when I am offline?
The offline Markdown notes guide describes behavior that works offline. AI features and cloud automation controls require a network connection.
Are cloud automations available in every deployment?
No. Cloud automations depend on the deployment operator enabling the task control plane. The automation console is read-only offline.
Does Echo Notes train models on my notes?
No. Notes and assistant conversations are not used to train foundation models. AI requests process only the content needed to fulfill that request.
Where can I get help with my account?
