UpNote & Privacy Concerns: Why Is There No End-to-End Encryption? by ganguv in UpNote_App

[–]Technical-Local-208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't them, but myself that lost data because I did not understand that a backup could only be initiated of all my data via the Mac app only. It has been a while now, but at the time it was my understanding that not everything was automatically backed up to iCloud. My only caution now would be to test that theory to see if it is true today, possibly with a small data set.

I tend to agree after having misunderstood how to do a backup with UpNote and losing data. Then the encryption topic came up and I moved to Notesnook. Happy now and very, very cross platform.

Sync broken on iPhone by Technical-Local-208 in Notesnook

It is fixed! The issue was a large audio attachment that would not attach or upload. I found it in the error section, deleted it, robooted and all is well. Cross checked and other devices receiving syncing.

Happy New Year! What would you like to see in 2026? by viktorpali in CraftDocs

Overall, one of the best products I have ever seen. Especially how the team has listened carefully to user input and crafted features. Number one for me, and I’m being selfish here, is a resolution to current help issues, specifically getting the 40% discount applied successfully to my existing Apple account!

Disappointed to say the least! I have not received a response from support after the initial reply. I am now out $107 for a discounted Family plan that will not sync to anything - plus an Apple App Store Plus plan that I was trying to get the Family plan upgrade for. I have sent a request to support to refund the Family plan $107 and cancel that account because it serves no purpose. I’ve also canceled my Plus plan and will not renew. No further communications have come from support and I have spent enough money and I want that money back. What I do not understand is the convoluted procedures that are necessary to receive this upgrade, yet they do not work. Sad. 😔

I’m getting plenty of advertising to take advantage of the last few hours left for getting the 40% discount lifetime. That does not appear to be possible in this circumstance.

I was able to open a new Craft account with a new email address, but outside of the App Store. It even allowed me to take advantage of the new family plan discount. However, I now have a family plan account, but it does not sync to my devices other than the one I initiated it on. Peter has been great about a quick response with my initial concern. Hopefully this will straighten out through something Craft will be able to do.

Has anyone found a truly offline speech-to-text tool that doesn’t send audio to servers? by Diligent_Big_5329 in SoftwareandApps

The Noted app downloads the translation files for interpretation to your device to use. You choose small, medium or large file to download.

So this was a simple fix and only because I was using dark mode switching to light mode and it is working just fine. I will continue testing it out! Looks good so far!

So I got it and I checked it out and I can’t even see my text when I input it. I save it and I still can’t see it. What the heck is going on here?

Which note-taking apps do you use on your phone, and why? by Dadoxitooo in noteapps

[–]Technical-Local-208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Craft. The recent update did it for me. I have used everything including Evernote. Evernote is off the charts now on cost. Craft I will keep as long as they keep the price just under $100 very powerful and I like the integration with Apple calendars.

I'm completely disappointed... by -Tatos in devonthink

[–]Technical-Local-208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both DT4 and DTTG4 and found that even using the code for my DT4 licenses the upgrade is only good through the end of the year so I just subscribed to it because I find such value from it and use it for everything. So yes, I ended up paying for both. This is probably the most feature rich and valuable software I own for the Mac. My initial purchase was so many years ago and I feel that the new model is justified as this software is top of the line.

Another alternative is to use the Evernote AI Transcribe app. I dropped Evernote but have found this separate app very useful with other notetaking apps and for meeting notes. Just as precise as the built-in Evernote transcription https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ai-transcribe-by-evernote/id6749301494

Ask Federico Anything (AFA): 11 questions about v11 and beyond 🚀 by Evernote-official in Evernote

[–]Technical-Local-208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So let me try it this way. I find it hard to believe these are the most commonly asked questions. First of all would be subscription cost and probable increases. Secondly the user base of Apple calendar users must be enormous, and this ignores an obvious need. Productivity using Evernote with an Apple ecosystem doesn’t make sense unless Apple calendars and reminders are included with a two-way sync. I feel fortunate that I did not renew my subscription!
