Lost Encryptic Notes

[RociTW]

I logged into my encryptic account today through my browser and I am now missing all my notes except for 1. And another just seems to be stuck loading. Is there any way to restore the notes I have lost or why this may be occurring?

Hey @RociTW — really sorry to hear about your lost notes. Unfortunately this is a known risk with Encryptic's architecture: notes live exclusively in your browser's IndexedDB, so there's no server-side backup and no recovery path if that storage gets cleared or corrupted. With the project now unmaintained, this won't get fixed here.

If you're looking for a replacement that solves this exact problem, I've been building Notevo — a modern encrypted note-taking app designed specifically around the limitations that caused issues like yours:

• ☁️ Real cloud sync via Supabase — your encrypted notes live on a server, so losing browser storage doesn't mean losing everything. Your keys never leave your device.
• 🔐 AES-GCM E2E encryption — same security model as Encryptic, but with actual redundancy
• 📦 Import Encryptic/Laverna JSON backups — if you have any .json export from before the loss, you can import it directly
• 📝 Live Markdown editor, tags, search, autosave
• ⚡ Built on Next.js 15 + TypeScript — actively maintained

The core lesson from Encryptic and Laverna is that encryption without sync is just a single point of failure. Notevo treats both as first-class requirements.

Hope you manage to recover something — and happy to help if you find an old export file.
