Buzzio Note to myself

Introduction

Message yourself without building a durable cloud scrapbook.

Note to myself (shown in the app as Note to Self) is always available in your chat list. Drop a reminder, draft a message, park a file for later — it feels like chatting with yourself, with history that prefers your devices over a permanent Buzzio-readable notebook.

We do not sell your notes. Local notes live under your on-device encryption. Linked-web handoff uses short-lived encrypted mailboxes — not a forever cloud mirror.

Why Buzzio is best for notes to yourself

What you get

A private self-chat for the small things you would otherwise text to yourself — with honest limits about what is durable in the cloud.

• Self-chat in the list
• Text, media, files
• Local encrypted DB
• Free local use
• Linked web handoff
• ~3-day mailbox sync
• Separate from Saved Messages
• Separate from Private Vault

How it works

How to use Note to myself

1. 1

   Open Note to Self

   Find it in your chat list, or choose it when picking a contact to message.

2. 2

   Write or attach

   Send reminders, drafts, links, photos, or files the same way you would in any chat.

3. 3

   Stay on device

   Notes are stored in your locally encrypted database. Uninstalling the app clears that local copy.

4. 4

   Optional linked web

   Link a browser session if you want the phone and web.buzzio.dev to hand notes across a short encrypted mailbox window.

On your devices

The default home for Note to myself is your phone’s encrypted local database. That means fast access, offline reading of what is already there, and no automatic “Buzzio staff can browse your notepad” product.

Lose the only device that held the notes — without another copy — and those local notes are gone. Keep important keep-forever items in Saved Messages or Private Vault instead.

Linked web

When you link web.buzzio.dev, Note to Self can hand history to the browser once, then keep phone and web in sync through an encrypted mailbox that expires after about 3 days. What a device has already saved stays local. Server mailbox copies age out — this is not a durable forever cloud sync product.

Encryption model

Notes use a Notes root key — random material wrapped by your account keys on the phone, never uploaded in the clear. Linked handoff encrypts envelopes for the short mailbox path. That lane is separate from Saved Messages crypto and from sealed chat sessions with other people.

Boundaries

Note to myself vs Saved Messages

What Note to myself does not mean

It is not Private Vault for passwords and locked files. It is not encrypted chat backup. It is not a durable keep-forever cloud notebook. Older “cloud sync” marketing for notes does not override today’s device-first + short mailbox model. If a note must survive a lost phone, put a copy in Saved Messages or Vault.

Tips

• Use Note to myself for drafts and reminders you need soon
• Use Saved Messages when you want keep-forever bookmarks
• Use Private Vault for passwords and sensitive files
• Link web only from devices you trust; mailbox copies expire
• Keep your 12-word phrase offline — identity restore still matters
