Accounting and legal terminology is often flagged as an error: add the terms to your personal dictionary instead of accepting every correction

Reflect

An AI request sends the note text to a model in the cloud; encryption covers storage only
It is a tool for one person, with limited team collaboration
Keep daily notes with colleagues' names and ratings outside the service if the company might take an interest in them
