The Secure Notes section displays notes in a list, each showing:

| Title | A descriptive name for the note | Yes |
| Category | One of 10 predefined categories | Yes |
| Colour | A pastel colour from the palette | No |
| Content | The note text (multi-line) | No |
Each note is assigned to one of 10 categories, each with a distinctive Fluent icon:
| Category | Icon | Typical use |

| Personal | Person | Personal information |
| Work | Briefcase | Work-related notes |
| Finance | Money | Financial records, account details |
