About this app

Offline notepad is exactly what it says on the tin: A notepad which operates completely offline. No server syncs or data loss if you forget the login credentials to your account! Main features include:

Creating Content:

1- Create as many notes as you like, and search for them by title or anything in the note body to find them again at ease.

2- Create & write your weekly shopping list or anything else with the dedicated list creation feature. Add as many items as you like! Check off items, filter by complete/incomplete items & see your progress at ease with a progress percentage bar!

3- Organise your notes & lists into folders and sub-folders, create as many folders as you like - as many layers deep as you like also!

4- Revisit old revisions/edits of a note/list to see the history of that item. You may also replace the current version of that note or list with an older version of it.


Convenience & Utility:

5- A completely uninterrupted user experience: no videos or ads in any shape or form! The app is 100% free & simply accepts donations for those who love it enough to support it. Simple!

6- Lock the app to portrait (default) or landscape so you can use it on phones & tablets alike!

7- Flag and highlight your favoured notes to make them stand out from the rest. Organise & sort them all by either dragging & dropping or by alphabetical order.


Security & Backup:

8- Protect your notes by setting up an app PIN & fingerprint unlocking within the app.

9- Export & import your items to yourself across devices by following the export/import process within the app. As this is an offline notepad, the export/import process is done by emailing your data to yourself. Your exported items are encrypted by default.


Customise:

10- Reskin the entire look of your app from a variety of themes! Choose from ‘panda white’, ‘dark mode’ & ‘rich red’ just to name a few!

11- Resize the text throughout the entire app to better suit your visual needs.


Offline notepad is entirely free & your notes, lists and folders are only stored within the app itself. There are no limitations on how many items you can create or how many times you can edit your notes/lists.

This app is updated regularly with brand new features, fixes & improvements; and all of these changes are documented frequently in the ‘News & Updates’ section found from the home screen in the app!

That's all there is to it - happy note taking!

Ratings and reviews

I use this app to organize and use my recipes and it works really well. I was able to import all my text files I had on my PC making setup easy for me. The only thing I didn't like was that it imports the notes with a generic title instead of copying the file name as the title, so it was a little tedious to rename all my imported recipes. Other than that I think this is a really solid note app.

Color schemes are either grotesque or black and white. Can't make the + symbol something nice, like blue? Trashed notes HAVE to be deleted automatically, either instantly or 2 months. What a wild take, forcing people NOT to have access to their own notes. App is called "OFFLINE Notepad" but it regularly sending info to Google in Georgia. There's no account/syncing. What gives? Seems shady to me. Pass. Hard pass.

A good, stable, minimal app that does what it says with no fuss. I would like an option to save notes as discrete .utf8 text files in my Documents folder, but I understand the complications that creates under Google's "safety policy" regime. I use this for things I don't want in Google Keep, and SolidExplorer's SE Text Editor for things I need to copy freely.

What's new
