What are Labs?⌄
Labs are private workspaces where you can store your notes/plaintext, ciphertext, images, and tool outputs. They autosave as you work.
What does Labs Pro unlock?⌄
Unlimited Labs, unlimited image tabs, plus premium Lab features like PDF export, cloning, and history snapshots.
How does Lab History work?⌄
On Pro, snapshots are created on saves. You can restore any snapshot from the History modal. Restoring overwrites your current lab content.
What’s included in PDF export?⌄
Your lab title, notes/plaintext, ciphertext, and uploaded images. It’s designed to be printable and shareable.
What’s the difference between Tools and the Breaker?⌄
Tools are focused transforms/analysis (like frequency, spacing, replace). The Breaker tries to automatically solve a cipher (or narrow it down) for supported cipher types.
How does the Substitution grid work?⌄
It’s a live mapping: you enter ciphertext letters A–Z under each plaintext letter marker. The cipher box updates in real-time so you can see patterns quickly.
Does Pro affect Weekly Cipher or leaderboards?⌄
No — Weekly Cipher scoring stays fair. Pro is about Labs capacity + QoL features.
How do notifications work?⌄
The bell shows unread notifications. Opening the dropdown fetches them and marks them as read. Clicking a notification takes you to the linked page.
Are Labs private?⌄
Yes — Labs are private to your account. Public content is only what you post in Posts / Weekly Cipher.
Do I need an account?⌄
You can browse as a guest, but you need an account to create Labs, post, comment, or enter Weekly Cipher.
I found a bug — how do I report it?⌄
Make a post describing what happened (screenshots help). Include the page and steps to reproduce.
