Fei Notes飞记Write locally
Open Fei Notes and create a note. You can edit local notes offline without signing in to an Apple Account, starting a trial, or subscribing.
Import from Quiet.md
Go to Settings → Documents → Import from Quiet.md and choose the Quiet.md library folder. Fei Notes copies the contents into your current library and keeps the original folder intact. Check your folders, notes, and attachments before making changes to the original.
Sync or move to another Mac
Sign in to iCloud in macOS System Settings. In Fei Notes, open Settings → Documents → iCloud Sync → Settings and follow the prompts. You can choose whether to copy existing local notes when enabling sync. Quit and reopen as prompted. On a new Mac, use the same iCloud account, open the iCloud library, and wait for it to restore.
TestFlight includes iCloud sync and collaboration without a subscription.
In the App Store version, start the 7-day cloud trial when you are ready. After it ends, downloaded notes remain accessible, and you can still edit local notes. Open the iCloud Sync settings to see monthly and yearly plans, restore purchases, or manage subscriptions through Apple. Subscriptions automatically renew at the chosen interval and can be canceled in Apple's subscription settings.
If sync pauses or a file is missing
Check the upload and download counts in iCloud Sync settings. Your edits are saved on this Mac first. Check the network, iCloud account, and available storage, then choose Sync Now. If the macOS iCloud account changed, reopen Fei Notes as prompted and verify the active library.
If you see Items That Couldn’t Sync, follow the message on the original Mac. Re-add a missing file, check its permissions, or replace an attachment larger than 64 MiB with a smaller file before retrying.
Invite someone to a note
Open a note in your iCloud library and choose Create shared copy from its menu. In Shared Notes, invite a specific Apple Account to view or edit the copy, then send the invitation link. The recipient accepts from Shared Notes in Fei Notes. You can change their role or revoke access there.
Back up or restore
In Settings → Documents, choose Back Up Library and save the .feinotesbackup file somewhere safe. To restore, choose the backup, let the app verify it, close any shared note windows, then quit and reopen. Fei Notes keeps the previous library. Check the restored contents before removing old copies. A backup can contain notes, attachments, cached shared notes, and pending changes.
Delete notes or stop syncing
To remove a note from your iCloud library, delete it in that library, then choose Delete permanently for the note in Trash. Open Settings → Documents and choose Sync Now. Check that the note has disappeared on your other Macs. Manage exported backups and separately saved copies on their own.
If you invited someone to edit or view a note, open its copy in Shared Notes and choose Revoke access for that person. The original and the shared copy are managed separately. To stop using the iCloud library, choose Switch to Local… in Settings → Documents. Your existing iCloud data is kept.
If Fei Notes appears in the macOS iCloud storage list with a deletion option, follow Apple’s iCloud storage instructions. Save anything you want to keep and stop syncing on each Mac before removing data.
When reporting a problem, include your Fei Notes version, macOS version, steps to reproduce, and the error message. Remove private paths, note titles, and invitation links from logs before sharing them.
