Make notes

Version: 1.7.3
Added: 09-04-2025
Updated: 19-07-2026

A simple and intuitive notepad based on the app bundled with Palm Pilot.

Entirely offline, requiring few permissions to run.
- Permission to use external storage is only needed to back up or
  restore your notes on Marshmallow (Android 6) and older.
- The following permissions are added by WorkManager, a Google
  library used to run the export, import, and password re-encryption
  operations in the background when initiated by the user. The core
  app does not use these on its own.
  - Permission to run a foreground service, added on Pie (Android 9)
    and later.
  - Permission to view network connections, used by WorkManager to
    determine the best time to schedule background tasks.
  - Permission to prevent the phone from sleeping, used by WorkManager
    to keep the processor awake while a background task is running.
  - Permission to run at startup, used by WorkManager to reschedule
    any pending background task after the phone is rebooted.

Create any number of categories for different notes.

Mark notes as private and optionally encrypt them with a password.

Export notes to a local XML file.

Import notes from an XML file.

Backwards compatible with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and up.
