Notes Max

About this app

Notes Max is a fast, private notes app that keeps everything on your phone. No account, no sign-in, no internet — you open it and start writing.

Three kinds of note, one tap away:
• Blank note — plain text, as quick as it gets
• Checklist — tick items off, reorder, done
• Sketch / Handwriting — draw and write with your finger or a stylus, in multiple pen colors and widths

Everything you'd expect, nothing you wouldn't:
• Add photos and voice recordings to any note
• Tag, color, and pin notes to keep them organized
• Instant full-text search across every note
• A home-screen widget and tag shortcuts for one-tap capture
• Share text or images straight into Notes Max from any app
• Tappable links inside notes — phone numbers, addresses, websites, and links between your own notes
• Export any note, or all of them, to PDF

Your notes are yours:
• Everything stays on your device — Notes Max has no server and collects nothing
• Notes are stored as plain Markdown you can read in any text editor, so you're never locked in
• Back up your notes to a folder on your phone whenever you want, and optionally encrypt those backups with AES-256 (openable in desktop 7-Zip or WinRAR with your passphrase)
• Lock the app behind your fingerprint or screen lock

No ads. No tracking. No subscriptions. Notes Max is free.
