About this app

Notepad is a small and fast notetaking app for making notes, memos, or just any plain text content. Features:
* simple interface that most of the users find easy to use
* no limits on note's length or number of notes (of course there's a limit to phone's storage)
* creating and editing text notes
* importing notes from txt files, saving notes as txt files
* sharing notes with other apps (e.g. sending a note by email)
* notes widget allowing to quickly create or edit notes, working like post it notes (stick a memo to home screen)
* backup function for saving and loading notes from a backup file (zip file)
* app password lock
* color themes (including dark theme)
* note categories
* automatic note saving
* undo/redo changes in notes
* lines in background, numbered lines in a note
* technical support
* search function that can quickly find text in notes
* unlock app with biometrics (e.g. fingerprint or face recognition)

It may be obvious, but notes in the app can be used in many ways. For example as a to do list to increase productivity. A sort of digital planner to store shopping list or to organize the day. Notes can be put on the home screen as reminders. Each task could be stored in a seperate note or one big todo note could be used.

** Important **
Please remember to make a backup copy of notes before formatting a phone or buying a new phone. Since the 1.7.0 version the app will also use phone's device copy, if it's turned on in the device's and the app's settings.

* Why do I advise to not install the app on an SD card?
I follow the official advice to block installing on an SD card apps that use widgets. This app uses widgets, which are like icons for the notes, and can be placed on a phone's home screen (for example).

If you have any additional questions, just contact me by email: notepad.free@outlook.com .

Thank you.

This is almost perfect. just a simple notepad, no fancy bells or whistles to speak of. there was a notepad app that I loved that seems to have disappeared that had a few features that aren't present here, but if they were it would likely be the perfect notepad for me. 1, when you open the app, open directly into the note you were most recently editing (not the full list). 2, and this is most important, swipe to go between the notes, so convenient. options to enable either would be perfect. plz

Hi. You could add a shortcut to a specific note on the home screen. This way it would open the selected note. Swiping is a nice idea, noted. Thank you for the suggestions. Please email me at notepad.free@outlook.com in case of any questions. Thank you.

I am pleased with this Notepad app. Key features for me: 1) you can choose to keep your data only on your device, or backup to your own cloud account if you like, 2) the menus and text are easy to read without zooming, 3) the features and functions are easy to understand, 4) it has checklists!, and 5) ability to easily print notes if desired. Well done!!

This has been a very useful app for me. Simple, straight-forward Notepad capabilities including importing and exporting. It's been an immense help for my day to day life. The ads are not intrusive at all; As a matter of fact, I would hold this app as the standard when it comes to hosting ads inside apps. I greatly appreciate the ability to turn off ads for a time by watching a larger one but I'd be interested in a Pro version to remove ads completely. I'd happily pay for such a well made app.
