Summary
NexJot is a local-first notes application. It is designed to keep your notes private and on your own device. It does not collect personal information, does not transmit your notes anywhere, and does not include analytics, advertising, or telemetry of any kind.
What NexJot stores
NexJot stores the following data on your local device only:
- Your notes — the
.notefiles you create, plus any images you embed, all saved to a folder you choose on your computer. - Application settings — your preferences (theme choice, font sizes, recently opened folder, open tabs, locked tabs, sidebar state, etc.) stored in a local settings file in your Windows user profile.
- Folder metadata — small
.nexjotfiles inside your note folders that store folder color preferences.
You choose where your notes folder lives. NexJot does not move, copy, or transmit these files to any external location.
What NexJot does not collect
NexJot does not:
- Collect personal information (name, email, address, phone number, etc.)
- Require an account, login, or registration
- Use analytics services, telemetry, crash reporting, or usage tracking
- Display advertisements
- Share your data with third parties
- Connect to any servers controlled by the developer
- Read your clipboard except when you explicitly use copy/paste features within the app
- Access your microphone, camera, location, contacts, or other system resources beyond the notes folder you select
Network activity
NexJot does not initiate any network connections to the developer or to third-party servers as part of its normal operation.
The only network activity that may occur is:
- Opening links you click. When you click a URL in your notes, NexJot asks Windows to open it in your default browser. NexJot itself does not fetch the URL.
- Opening file or network paths. When you click a file path or network share link in your notes, NexJot asks Windows to open it in the appropriate application (e.g., Explorer for folders).
Cloud sync
NexJot does not include any built-in cloud sync. If you choose to store your notes folder inside a cloud-synced directory (such as OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive), that sync is performed by the third-party service, not by NexJot. The privacy policy of the cloud provider you choose will apply to the synced copies of your files. NexJot has no awareness of or involvement in this sync.
Furthermore, cloud-sync has never been tested and is not officially supported.
Sensitive data and the "Secret Snippet" feature
NexJot includes a "secret snippet" feature that visually hides text (such as passwords) behind dots in the rendered view, intended to reduce the risk of accidentally exposing values during screen sharing.
This feature is screen-protection only and is not encryption.
Any text marked as a secret is stored as plain text in the local
.note file on your device. Anyone with access to the file
(or to your computer) can read these values directly. NexJot is not a
password manager and should not be used as one for sensitive credentials.
Children's privacy
NexJot is a productivity application not directed at children under 13. NexJot does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
Data retention and deletion
All NexJot data lives on your device. To delete it:
- Notes: delete the
.notefiles (or the entire notes folder) using Windows File Explorer. - Application settings: uninstall NexJot through Windows Settings, or manually delete the NexJot folder under
%APPDATA%.
There is no remote data to request deletion of.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top will be revised. Continued use of NexJot after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
