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
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.
Sensitive actions stay unavailable
While locked, the note is blocked from copy, export, attachments, dictation, history, and AI context.
Use protection where it matters
Lock private journals, client material, or personal writing while keeping everyday notes quick to access.
