Frequently Asked Questions

How does BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) work?

In Settings -> AI Settings, you can enter your own DeepSeek API Key (or OpenAI / Ollama compatible Base URL). The key is saved locally in your SQLite database with masking and zero cloud telemetry. You pay the AI provider directly at wholesale token rates.

Can I use QuickNote on multiple machines?

Yes! Each Pro Lifetime license grants activation on up to 3 personal devices (e.g. work laptop, home PC, desktop). The Ed25519 signature algorithm validates completely offline without intrusive hardware locking.

What is your refund policy?

We provide a 7-day no-questions-asked refund guarantee. If QuickNote doesn't speed up your daily note-taking and prompt engineering, simply email support@quicknote.dev for a prompt 100% refund.
