Sharing & Collaboration

Share your notes securely with others while maintaining the same high level of encryption and privacy that protects your personal data.

Overview

Mimiri Notes allows you to share individual notes or entire hierarchies with other users while maintaining end-to-end encryption. The same security principles that protect your private data extend to shared content.

Key Benefits

  • End-to-end encrypted sharing - only you and your chosen recipients can read the content
  • Hierarchical sharing - share entire note trees, not just individual notes
  • Selective sharing - choose exactly what to share with whom
  • Secure credential sharing - for teams or families sharing passwords or other private information

How Sharing Works

Starting a Share

  1. Right-click the note you want to share
  2. Select “Share” from the context menu
  3. Enter the username of the person you want to share with
  4. Copy the one time code and give it to the recipient

Accepting Shares

Recipients will need to:
  1. Right-click a note and choose Accept Share Here
  2. Or open the file menu and choose Accept Share to accept the share as a root folder
  3. Enter the one time code in the provided field
  4. The new share will show up under the selected note or as a root note based on the previous choice

What Gets Shared

Hierarchical Sharing

When you share a note:
  • The note itself and all its content
  • All child notes in the hierarchy
  • Future additions - new notes added to the shared hierarchy are automatically included

What Stays Private

  • Your other notes - only explicitly shared content is accessible

Security in Sharing

Encryption Protection

Shared notes maintain the same security as private notes:
  • End-to-end encryption - data is encrypted before transmission
  • Zero-knowledge sharing - Mimiri servers cannot read shared content
  • Per-share encryption - each share uses unique encryption keys

Access Control

  • All users in a share are equals - so only share with people you trust
  • Users cannot be evicted from shares - anyone can delete the content, but access cannot be revoked
