Onyx devices are great, however, the fact that there is a requirement to log in Onyx account to access one's notes locally and it bothers me a lot: is it if one day you can't log in anymore? Would all the notes be lost? Even without logging in, one cannot even restore a backup that is locally present on the device! Or, rather, you can do it but the notes are not displayed. I find this very irritating! It seems to me just a practice to tie data (starting with email) of a user to a device. Logging in to the Onyx account should be optional and only for those who want to synchronize their notes with other devices or to make backups of them on the cloud. It would be nice if you could at least back up the logged-in account so that you could restore if the Onyx service was suspended.
It should be possible. What firmware are you on? I can access notes locally without a net connection and I'm not entirely sure my two devices are both currently logged into Oynx's service (they were at one point I know but now both are really outta sync).
