Features

Privacy-First Sync

You choose exactly which notes to sync. Nothing is sent without your explicit selection.

Two-Way Sync

Changes flow both ways — edit in Apple Notes or Documentor, the other side stays up to date.

Conflict Resolution

If both sides change, you see both versions side-by-side and pick which to keep. No data loss.

Full-Text Search

Search across all your notes — title, content, and folder name — instantly.

Folder Selection

Select entire folders at once, or pick individual notes. Selections persist between launches.

Auto-Sync

Optional automatic sync at 5, 15, 30, or 60-minute intervals. Disable anytime.

Troubleshooting

macOS says the app is from an unidentified developer

Right-click the app, then Open, then click Open. This is only needed once. A notarized build (no warning at all) requires an Apple Developer certificate.

Apple Notes permission was denied

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation. Find "Documentor Sync" and enable the toggle for "Notes". Then click "Check Again" in the app.

Connection test fails

Verify you can reach documentory.work in your browser. If you're on a VPN or corporate network, the firewall may be blocking the connection.

Where are the logs?

Logs are at ~/Library/Application Support/DocumentorSync/documentor-sync.log. Or from the app: Settings → Diagnostics → View Log File. System logs: Console.app, filter work.documentory.sync.
