Frequently Asked Questions
Safety
Your data is secured with military-grade, end-to-end encryption. It's scrambled on your device using the AES-256-GCM algorithm, which is virtually impenetrable. Naturally, your password never leaves your device. The encrypted data is sent to Yaad servers for syncing, ensuring only you can access your information.
No, Yaad's developer cannot access your data. The content of your notes, tasks, people, boxes, and their links is fully encrypted before ever leaving your device. The data is only accessible by whoever has the password you set, which itself never leaves your device.
Due to the end-to-end encrypted syncing, if you forget your password, you lose access to your data. Yaad's support cannot recover your password or access your data. This is why it's vital to remember your password or use a password manager.
If you lose your device, you can recover the latest synced state of your data by logging into your account on a new device. Your data is automatically synced to Yaad servers on every change, so you can access your data from any device, as long as you have your password.
If Yaad goes down, you can still access your data without a connection. Yaad is offline-first. Hence, your data is stored on your device and you can access it even if Yaad is down or you don't have an internet connection.
Not at the moment. However, this feature is planned for the future.
If the servers are breached, your data is still secure. Your data is encrypted on your device before being sent to Yaad servers. Even if the servers are breached, nothing can be done with the encrypted data without the password you set.
