LocalNote: Private Notes

Found404

About this app

LocalNote is a simple, private notes app. Your notes are saved on your phone, not on our servers. No account, no ads, no tracking.

Open the app and start writing. Everything saves automatically, works offline, and stays with you.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Write fast – notes save automatically as you type, even offline.
• Checklists – make to-do lists and tick items off with a tap.
• Markdown – add headings, bold text, links and lists, then switch to a clean preview.
• Photos, videos and files – attach pictures, PDFs, documents or any file to a note. Pick them, paste them, or add them from your keyboard.
• Tags – group related notes and find them in one tap.
• Search – find any note by its words or tags.
• Pin – keep important notes at the top.
• Sort – by last edited, date created, or A–Z.
• Version history – changed something by mistake? Go back to an earlier version.
• Trash – deleted notes wait in Trash until you restore them or delete them for good.
• Dark mode – easy on the eyes at night.
• Copy and export – copy a note's text, or save a note as a .txt file.

YOUR NOTES STAY PRIVATE

• No sign-up needed. Just open the app and write.
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
• We never see your notes. We have no server that stores them.
• Your notes are encrypted on your phone with AES-256, and the key is kept in your phone's secure storage.
• Nothing leaves your device unless you choose to export it or turn on Google Drive backup.

Attached files are kept in the app's private storage on your phone. They are not encrypted by the app.

OPTIONAL GOOGLE DRIVE BACKUP AND SYNC

Want a backup, or the same notes on your phone and on the web? Connect your Google account – only if you want to.

• Off until you turn it on.
• Saved in your own Google Drive, in a hidden folder that only LocalNote can open. LocalNote cannot see your other Drive files.
• Back up with one tap, or on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule.
• Auto sync: LocalNote backs up when you leave the app and brings in changes from your other devices when you open it.
• If the same note was changed on two devices, the newest version is kept and the other one is saved in that note's history, so nothing is lost.
• Restore your notes and attached files on a new phone in a few taps.

Your backup goes straight from your device to Google. It never passes through our servers. Backups in Drive are protected by your Google account, not by LocalNote's on-device encryption.

MOVE YOUR NOTES ANYWHERE

Export all your notes – with their attached files – to one backup file, and import it on another device. When importing, choose to add the notes to the ones you have, or replace them.

Exported files are not encrypted, so keep them somewhere safe.

ON YOUR PHONE AND ON THE WEB

Use LocalNote on Android, or in your browser at localnote.io. Turn on Google Drive sync to keep the same notes in both places.

• Shopping lists and daily to-dos

Simple notes. Private by design.
LocalNote – your notes, your device, your privacy.
