The Settings screen in Fleeting Notes lets you manage your account, configure sync, and customize the app behavior.

Account

  • Login / Logout: Sign in or out of your Fleeting Notes account. If you don’t have one yet, you can register from this screen.
  • Force Sync: Manually trigger a sync to pull your notes from the cloud to your current device.
  • End-to-End Encryption: Set an encryption key to keep your notes encrypted during transmission.
  • Phone Number: Add or update your phone number to take notes via SMS or phone calls.
  • Delete Account: Permanently removes your account and all notes. This does not cancel any active subscription — unsubscribe first.
