Troubleshooting

The app can't reach my server

• Check the address includes http:// and the port (:8787 by default).
• Your phone and the server must be on the same network, or both on your private network (Tailscale or WireGuard).
• Open http://<server-ip>:8787/health in a browser. If the server is running, it answers without a token.

I lost my token

Docker: docker compose logs, or set NOTALLY_TOKEN yourself. systemd install: sudo cat /var/lib/librenotes/token.

I forgot my passphrase

Synced notes can't be decrypted without it, and it can't be reset. Notes still stored on a device that's already unlocked stay readable there: export them as Markdown, then set up sync again with a new server and passphrase.

The app says it is outdated, or the server version doesn't match

Update the app and the server to their latest releases.
