::: tip
Info
On **macOS** the package works natively on **x86 and Apple Silicon**!
:::

::: tip
If QOwnNotes logs `Could not write secret to keychain` on Linux, install a Secret Service implementation and restart your desktop session.

For GNOME and other Secret Service based desktops, add packages such as `gnome-keyring`, `libsecret` and `seahorse` to your environment.

For KDE Plasma, add KWallet support such as `kdePackages.kwalletmanager` and `kdePackages.kwallet`.

QOwnNotes will fall back to legacy encryption if the desktop keychain is unavailable.
