PlainMemos: Quick Notes

Elemental Development

About this app

PlainMemos is built for fast notes when you need to catch a thought before it disappears. Create quick notes in seconds, save instant notes as voice notes or text notes, and use note tagging, folders, and search to find everything again. Your private notes stay on your device with no account, no cloud requirement, and no tracking.

Use PlainMemos for:

Voice notes for ideas, reminders, meetings, and walk-and-talk captures
Text notes when typing is faster than talking
Quick capture from home screen widgets and app shortcuts
Lightweight organization with tags, folders, and trash restore
Fast search across memo titles and note text
Full-library export when you want a backup of your notes and recordings

Why PlainMemos feels different:

Local-first storage keeps your notes on your device
No account setup before you start writing or recording
Voice and text capture are both first-class
Plain editing without formatting clutter
Search, tags, folders, and export keep your library manageable without turning it into a heavy workspace

Made for everyday capture:

Open the app, type a text note, or record a voice memo in seconds. After you capture something, you can rename it, add tags, move it into a folder, share it, or export your whole library as a zip backup.

PlainMemos is for people who want quick capture, easy organization, and private local storage.

PlainMemos is part of the PlainApps suite.
