Is Dodl Notes free?
Yes. The core workflow for quick note capture, class and student organization, note history, Notes Explorer, dashboard coverage, reminders, locking, recovery, and privacy controls is free.
What does Dodl Pro add?
Dodl Pro adds optional AI-supported workflows, including insights from saved notes, reusable report templates, evidence-based report drafting, and related AI workflows. The free core workflow remains the starting point.
Do I need a Google account?
No. The core Dodl Notes account flow uses an email and password. Google access is optional and only needed for workflows such as Google Docs export when you choose to use them.
Can I use Dodl Notes without AI?
Yes. You can capture notes, organize by class and student, review histories, use dashboard coverage tools, lock the workspace, and manage recovery without using AI-supported features.
Where are my notes stored?
Dodl Notes stores note content as encrypted browser data and encrypted cloud sync tied to your Dodl Notes account. The privacy policy explains the current storage locations, service providers, and limits.
Can the developer read my notes?
No. Dodl Notes encrypts note content in the browser before storage or sync. The developer cannot read decrypted notes.
Why does the Chrome Web Store list several data categories?
Chrome Web Store data categories are broad. Dodl Notes may process account email for sign-in, limited billing metadata for Pro, support messages you send, product activity needed for locking, sync, reliability, and optional features, and user-inputted note content that is encrypted before storage or sync. The developer cannot read decrypted notes. Review the Privacy Policy and Chrome Web Store listing for the full current details.
Can I use student initials or numbers instead of names?
Yes. You can use names, initials, numbers, or local identifiers according to your school, board, district, or organization’s expectations. Always follow your local privacy rules.
Does Dodl Notes work on school-managed Chromebooks?
If your school or board manages Chrome extensions, installation may require IT approval. Share the Chrome Web Store link, extension ID, privacy policy, and support email with your IT contact. The IT approval page includes a copy-and-send summary.

Can I export notes?
Dodl Notes includes report and export-related workflows where available, including optional Google Docs export for supported report workflows. Recovery tools also help protect encrypted workspace access. If your school requires a specific official export or record format, keep using the required system.
What happens if I forget my password or recovery key?
Encryption protects your notes, but it also means recovery matters. If you lose both password-based and recovery-based access methods, previously encrypted notes may not be recoverable.
Is Dodl Notes a replacement for my school’s required documentation system?
No. Dodl Notes can support teacher note-taking and evidence review, but it is not a substitute for required school, board, district, or regulated record systems. Review the privacy policy and your local requirements before storing sensitive information.
