About this app

Organize your notes and sort them into any number of folders and subfolders. Create checklists or add your own pictures.
It's also great as a journal app.

With the newest update we have made the app even better:

Change creation date:
You can now flexibly adjust the creation date of your notes, perfect for better organization.

Sorting by creation date:
Notes can now be sorted not only by the modification date, but also by the creation date.

Customizable date display:
Choose whether you want to display the creation date or the modification date in your notes.

These new features make the app ideal for use as a diary or journal - and some of our users are already using it for exactly that!

They were very happy about the update because it makes capturing and browsing through memories even easier.

Try it out and enjoy even more flexible and clearer note management!

Ratings and reviews

The folder structure is exactly what I've been looking for, having tried 25+ note apps. It's fantastic. I have to drop it a star for no widget. Hopefully that will happen in upcoming versions. Then it will be a 5 star app. ***2 year update - still loving this app, as much as when I wrote the original review. Love that I can have folders in folders in folders. Helps me keep everything exactly where I want everything to be. Keep up the good work dev

A CATASTROPHE I have listed lots of important notes. I list all my passwords and pins in an AtoZ notebook I keep in my safe. The pin number, after many months of almost daily use, suddenly refused to work! Thanks for your reply, I'd alter it if I were you 😂 No problem, I'll try to help you. Worked straight off on my A4 tablet (S10 ultra) using the same password. I am going to download all my files, port them to my Z Fold7 and add them to another app.

I have been using Keep My Notes for several years, and Folino is the first alternative I found that I liked. I'd like the ability to add embellishments to the title such as bold, like you can with the notes body. Also the ability to lock Folino with a biometric login would be good. You can backup all of the notes to your device, and export them all to text files in one go too, cool. Tobias was quick to answer his emails too, so important these days... it resulted in me going Premium 🙂.

What’s new

- Individual items within checklists can now be reordered directly by long-pressing. The separate "sorting mode" has been removed.

- The number of open and completed checklist items is now displayed at the bottom of the open checklist and in the notes overview.
