Dark Note: Checklists & Budget

Dozy Apps

About this app

Dark note is totally free. There are no features behind a paywall.

Dark note is also ad-free so you can enjoy note-taking without getting annoyed by bombardments of weird and dumb ads. If you want to support Dark Note, buy me some coffee by going to the settings page and clicking on the cool-looking coffee cup.

Dark note makes it easy to add notes and checklists. Its design is very easy on the eyes and is also easy to use.

Taking a Note
The only limit for the note length is the capacity of your device storage. Once a note is created, any edits will be saved letter by letter. Notes can be archived, shared, locked, exported, and much more.

Making a Checklist
You can add as many items as you want. List items can be easily edited or deleted by clicking on the edit icon. Each item can be checked off with a simple click in which that item is striked-through and once all items have been checked off, the title will also be striked-through marking completion.

Ratings and reviews

Great app! Nice and smooth and love the color customizations. Also like the locally stored data--No cloud nonsense. Any chance of adding an "add table" feature? I'm actually able to copy a table from a website and paste it into a note and edit the data which is great, but have to find the right table dimensions and color I want...but it works.

Versatile and customizable. This app is easy to use. You can change titles, customize title and font colors. The notes can be different colors. You can make backups of your notes. You can even create folders to put various notes in. I've been using ColorNote for years and decided to try this app as an alternative because I have was having problems with ColorNote working with my keyboard on my new phone. I'd say the two apps are similar without the keyboard problem.

Upon opening a new note for the first time using the app, I quickly discovered access to my clipboard was irreversibly disengaged, which is totally absurd considering the value of its functionality. I still gave three stars because, apart from that, the app is well designed. Nevertheless, I don't hang out anywhere I can't bring my clipboard. Cheers.
