Getting Started

1. Download the desktop app

Download the build that matches your operating system and install it. For platform-specific notes, see Installation and Activation.

2. Create or open a Vault

New users should create a new Vault first. Existing users can open the local folder that already contains a Vault.

The Vault is Nokuo's primary data directory. It can be a normal local folder or a local-sync folder. For the full storage boundary, see Security and Data Storage.

3. Set a master password and save the recovery key

When you create a Vault, set a master password and store the recovery key safely.

• The master password unlocks the Vault locally.
• The recovery key is the last-resort recovery mechanism.
• The Nokuo service cannot recover your plaintext master password for you.

4. Start organizing content

After the Vault is created, you can write documents, import materials, organize content, and store keys or common settings.

5. Choose the next step
