Data

The notes folder (where Markdown exports go — see Where your entries live), Show in Finder, and Change… to pick a new folder. Recovery’s Rescan button imports dated .md files from the folder for days missing in the app and reports the tally as Imported / Skipped / Errors. Rescan never touches entries that already have content.

Subscription

Your plan status: trial days remaining, plan, renewal date, and buttons to change plans, restore purchases, or manage the subscription in your App Store account.
