Samsung Cloud Notes: reconstructing cloud note access

Samsung Cloud Notes reconstructs access to Samsung's private note-sync services in Mac, iOS, Android and command-line clients. Its research documents static analysis and runtime observation of Windows components, observed cloud endpoints and XML structures. The clients browse and edit supported typed-text notes, keep local caches and export note content.

Requirements & limits

Prerequisites: A Samsung account is needed for cloud sign-in; supported platforms include macOS 13+, iOS 16+ and Android 8+.
Limits: Version 1.1 works with existing notes; creating or deleting notes and full page editing are outside its current interface.
Testing evidence: The author reports live sign-in and library-sync checks for the new mobile clients; their cloud-save paths had not been exercised against a live account before release.
