Antinote's recoverable trash — deleted notes are banished, not destroyed.
Design intent: Keep deleting fearless. Notes should be easy to throw away and — for a while — easy to un-throw-away.
- Deleting a note no longer destroys it. It's banished to The Void, Antinote's recoverable trash.
- Open it via File > Recover Notes from The Void… (or the buttons in Settings > Notes > The Void).
- Each note in The Void can be restored (it returns as a regular ephemeral note, even if it was slotted) or destroyed forever.
- File > Empty The Void permanently deletes everything in it. As the app warns: there is no recovery beyond The Void.
- The Void empties itself automatically after a period you choose: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or Never.
- Trash state syncs with iCloud Sync, so a note deleted on one device lands in The Void on all of them.
- The bulk action "Delete all notes not modified since" (Settings > Notes) also routes through The Void — it asks for confirmation and the notes stay recoverable until The Void is emptied.
