Locked Notes

Lock a note and lock the assistant out too.

Protect sensitive Hibiscus notes with a password or Touch ID and exclude their contents from AI context while locked.

Direct answer

Can AI read a locked Hibiscus note?

No. While a Hibiscus note is locked, its content is structurally excluded from AI context and other content-access paths until you unlock it.

  • Password or Touch ID
  • Blocked from AI context
  • Local access gate
01

A product boundary not a prompt

Locked content is stopped at the access gate. Hibiscus does not rely on telling a model to ignore text it already received.

02

Sensitive actions stay unavailable

While locked, the note is blocked from copy, export, attachments, dictation, history, and AI context.

03

Use protection where it matters

Lock private journals, client material, or personal writing while keeping everyday notes quick to access.
