Super-Private Bullets

You can mark bullets as private to hide them on-screen when you’re in public and prevent them from being accidentally shared.

It's often helpful to show your notes to other people while you're working with them. However, exactly because RemNote integrates all of your knowledge into one convenient knowledge base, there is a risk of accidentally showing them glimpses of private notes you didn't intend to share when you, e.g., click on a reference or start a search.

The Super Private power-up allows you to mark such private notes so RemNote can hide them when your notes are visible to others. It has several effects:

  • Private notes are obscured in the editor (and when searching) so that you have to explicitly click on them to make them visible.

  • When a flashcard generated from a Super Private bullet comes up for review and Super-Private bullets are currently hidden, you'll see the following card:

  • When you share a document with the Share button, you'll be warned if the document contains any Super-Private bullets. (Super Private bullets are, however, included without prompting when exporting, since this is typically done to transfer them to other knowledge bases or apps also belonging to you.)

  • The contents of Super-Private bullets are not sent to third parties when using AI features.

Super-Private bullets should not be confused with Hidden Bullets. Hidden bullets help you semi-permanently avoid displaying bullets that aren’t relevant in some context; they aren’t shown at all in the document and take up no space until you explicitly show them again. Super-Private bullets help you prevent other people who might look at your screen from inadvertently seeing sensitive information; they still take up the same amount of space in your documents, but they say only Private unless you “unlock” the workspace by clicking on one.

Making bullets Super-Private

To make a bullet and its descendants super-private, type /private or /sp, or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P (Cmd+Opt+Shift+P on a Mac).

Revealing Super-Private bullets

To reveal all Super-Private bullets, simply click on one. After clicking to reveal one of your private bullets, you'll enter “unlocked mode” and will be able to see all private bullets throughout your knowledge base for the next hour.

Hiding Super-Private bullets

If you've revealed all super-private bullets and want to hide them again before the hour timeout is up, select the Hide Super-Private Bullets action from the omnibar (Ctrl+K; Cmd+K on a Mac).
