What is a .SAFENOTEBACKUP file?
A .SAFENOTEBACKUP file is a type of file that is made by an app called Safe Note, which is used on iPhones and iPads. This app helps people make notes that they want to keep private or secure. The .SAFENOTEBACKUP file keeps a copy of these notes, so if for some reason the notes get deleted from the app, they won't be lost forever because there's a backup.
To open a .SAFENOTEBACKUP file, you usually need the Safe Note app. This is because the file is made specifically for this app. However, there's a trick you can use if you want to see what's inside the backup file without the app. You can change the name of the file by replacing ".safenotebackup" at the end with ".zip". This turns the file into a ZIP file, which is a common type of file that stores compressed files and folders. After you change it to a ZIP file, you can use a program that opens ZIP files, like Corel WinZip on Windows computers or Apple Archive Utility on Macs, to see the contents of the backup.
It's important to know that the Safe Note app doesn't work on iPhones and iPads that have been updated to iOS 11 or later versions. Because of this, if you plan to update your device to iOS 11 or have already done so, you should make sure to move your notes from Safe Note to a different app or make another type of backup. This way, you won't lose your notes when the app stops working after the update.
Lastly, it's worth mentioning that the Safe Note app, also known as Code Drop Safe Note, is no longer available for download because it has been discontinued. This means you can't get the app if you don't already have it installed on your device.
