Ratings and reviews

This app is loaded with functionality - way beyond what I would ever use. Beware that the help file was written originally with Android 10 or earlier in mind. Reference is made to setting the repository when installing. Ignore this if you have a recent Android version. Create a folder called Backup with a sub folder called mirror and enable Backup Mirroring to enable access to copies of your original text files.

Please add these features in order to make the QoL more seamless. I have this installed but I ended up using Xiaomi Notes more cuz it has: Syntax highlight colors Card View (like Google Keep) Can choose the default file save type. Behavior: add a feature called "quick note taking". Description: When using "share" from like another app, have the option of just creating a note automatically (formatting can be YYYYMMDDhhss, and possibly adjustable if possible), then have all the content pasted in.

Really good so far, I put a few notes up and I like the way it looks, easy to use and setup. Early days as I look to make new notes, but I love open source because open source just works and it's a lot better than proprietary software. Thank you for a good app.
