Launching Docket on macOS

Do Not Modify the Drive

Never reformat, rename, or reorganize the folders on your Docket drive. The folder structure is essential for Docket to function properly. Modifying it may permanently break your Docket and result in data loss.

First-Time Setup​

When you launch Docket for the first time, you'll see the welcome screen:

Click Get Started to begin the setup process. You'll then be prompted to configure your vault:

Docket Security & Encryption Setup

  1. Toggle "Encryption Enabled" on (it's on by default)
  2. Enter a strong password (8+ characters)
  3. Confirm your password
  4. Click Continue
  5. Your vault is now protected with AES-256 encryption
Important

Remember your password! There is no way to recover a forgotten password. Your encrypted data will be permanently inaccessible without it.

Option 2: Unencrypted Mode​

  1. Choose "Skip Encryption"
  2. Your data will be stored in plaintext
  3. No password is required to access your data

You can switch between encrypted and unencrypted modes at any time in Settings.
