About this app

Retro Notebook brings the warmth of a leather-bound diary into the digital
world. It's a simple, fast, and stylish notebook app that gives you a quick and
easy way to jot down notes, draft messages, or put together a shopping list,
to-do list, or checklist.

New in v4.1.1:
• A true rich text editor: write bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough
without ever seeing `**`-style markers — you just see the formatting itself.
Headings collapse, and you can add checkboxes and links right in the text.
• Tags are now added by typing #tag directly in the text — no separate list to
manage.
• A cleaner note editor toolbar: reminder and lock now share one "more
options" menu.
• New language: Italian — the app now speaks 9 languages.

An account is optional. If you don't want sync, you can keep using the app
exactly as before — fully offline, with no account at all.

A genuine notebook experience that blends old-fashioned writing with modern
technology: leather cover, ruled-paper texture, and warm ink tones.

More highlights:
• 5 retro color palettes: make the notebook yours, all free.
• Cloud sync: sign in and keep your notes identical on every device.
• Focus Mode: write your note on a clean, full-page screen.
• Checklist: turn your to-do and shopping lists into tappable items.
• Add multiple tags to a note and filter by them.
• Pin your important notes so they always stay on top.
• Rich text formatting: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, collapsible
headings, and lists — markers stay hidden, only the formatting shows.
• Attach images, drawings, links, and voice notes to any note.
• Reminders: give a note a date and time and get a notification when it's due.
• Export to PDF: turn your notes into a notebook-style PDF and share it
(Premium).
• Home screen widgets: add a new note with a single tap.
• Per-note lock: encrypt just the note you choose (Premium).
• Ready-made templates: Meeting Notes, Shopping List, and Recipe.
• Advanced search: filter by date, tag, category, and attachment type.
• Document scanning (OCR): photograph text on paper and turn it into text.
• Deleted notes go to the trash — restore them anytime.
• Browse your notes in list or grid view.
• Organize with colorful categories and icons, and bookmark your favorites.

Ratings and reviews

A little too simplistic, but great look! Have to change text manually each time, rather than saving in settings. **Update: Developer attentive and quickly replied. I would buy this instantly if it had vintage looking notebook covers on a "shelf" to look at like "Notebooks" app by DroidVeda LLP. Love the look and feel of this.

Dates are not correct. It's correct when writing, but after saving, it show the 9th month instead of August.

This app won't save hardly any notes and I'm so mad that I've thrown my phone about 20 times today!!!!!! I'd give a negative rating if possible!!!!!!!!!!!!
