Note Security: Locked Folders

You can create a password to lock folders within Notability.

A folder's password will automatically sync between iOS and Mac even if you don't sync notes across devices.

Password-protecting individual notes and/or the entire app is unavailable at this time. 

Please note: Locked Folders are unavailable in Notability Cloud.
