About this app

Note taking, simple and on your own device — without ads, popups.
No spam, no spyware, no data collection. For real.

Merkzettel keeps every note on your phone and gives each one the right format: plain notes, checklists, recipes, expenses, and flashcards.

✨ FIVE KINDS OF NOTES

📝 Rich text — headings, bold and italic, bullet and numbered lists; a clean, distraction-free editor
✅ Checklists — checkboxes, drag-and-drop reordering, and visual progress tracking
🍳 Recipes — ingredients and steps with serving scaling, plus a tidy PDF you can share or print
💶 Expenses — a running total, an optional budget, and your own currency
🧠 Flashcards — question-and-answer decks with a full-screen flip study mode

🏷️ SMART ORGANIZATION

1. Colour-coded tags to categorize your notes
2. Pin important notes to keep them at the top
3. Drag and drop to reorder notes exactly how you want
4. Switch between list and grid view

🔍 FIND, FILTER & REMIND

1. Instant search across titles and content
2. Filter by tag or by note type
3. Sort by last update, creation date, title, or manual order
