Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Mergenote and the Active Knowledge Engine.

The Active Knowledge Engine uses lightweight plugins to capture context from your IDE, terminal, and git activity. It then uses AI-powered vector search to find semantically similar notes and surfaces them in real-time via WebSocket connections to your editor.

Absolutely. All your notes are encrypted at rest and in transit. We use enterprise-grade security practices including SOC 2 compliance. Your data is never shared with third parties or used to train AI models. Team plans include SSO/SAML for additional security.

Yes! Mergenote supports importing from Notion, Obsidian, Roam, and standard Markdown files. We also provide an API for custom integrations. The import process preserves your folder structure, tags, and note links.

We currently have a VS Code extension with JetBrains IDEs and Neovim coming soon. Our terminal integration works with any shell on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Web-based IDEs like GitHub Codespaces are also supported.

You'll receive a notification when approaching the 100-note limit. You can continue reading and searching all notes, but creating new notes will be disabled until you upgrade to Pro or delete some notes. We never delete your data.

Yes, Mergenote works offline. Your notes are cached locally and sync when you reconnect. AI-powered features like semantic search require connectivity, but basic note-taking and local search work completely offline.
