About this app

Quick Notes is for the small things you need to remember in the next few hours: a parking spot, a door code, something to pick up on the way home. Type it, tap plus, and it stays in your notification shade where you will see it, until you mark it done.

WRITE IT DOWN FAST
• One text box at the top of the screen. No titles, no folders, no sign up
• Share text from any app into Quick Notes and it lands ready to save
• A home screen shortcut opens straight to a new note with the keyboard up
• Optionally open the keyboard as soon as the app starts, or close the app after saving

RIGHT IN YOUR NOTIFICATIONS
• New notes stay in your notification shade until they are done
• Tap the bell on any note to put it in your notifications or take it out
• Done, Snooze and Copy buttons right on the notification, so a door code or password is one tap away
• Snooze hides a note for 5 minutes up to 2 hours, then brings it back
• Swiped a notification away? Tap the bell and it is back
• Notes in your notifications come back after the phone restarts
• Prefer to choose? Turn it off for new notes and add only the ones you want

SWIPE AND TICK OFF
• Swipe right to mark a note done, swipe left to add it to your notifications or take it out, with Undo
• Choose what each swipe does in Settings: mark done, notification on or off, delete, or nothing
• Tick a note to move it to Done, and bring it back later if you need it
• Long press to select several notes and copy them, add them to your notifications, mark them done or delete them
• Hold a note and drag it to move it. Your notifications follow the same order
• Tap a note to edit it in place
• Done notes can clear themselves after 1, 7 or 30 days, if you turn it on

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
• A Notes widget lists what is still open, with a button to tick each one off and a plus button for a new note

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Quick Notes has no internet permission, so your notes cannot leave your phone
• No account, no ads, no analytics
• Optional App lock with your fingerprint, face or screen lock
• Optionally hide your notes from the lock screen until you unlock your phone
• Back up your notes to a file you choose, and restore them on a new phone

Light and dark themes, and it follows your system setting by default. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Indonesian, Russian, German, French, Japanese, Arabic and Hebrew.
Jot a note in a second and keep it in your notifications until it's done.

Does what it says it does! It'd be great if it also provided a widget to List all the reminders. Since Inbox is going away, and Gmail does not show them. I'd love to have a widget listing my active reminders! EDIT to answer... I can't create widget to see all reminders! Long press on the app icon just shows "remove, Uninstall, Edit and App Info" I've no option to add list of reminders.

Fixed in 6.3, live now. Notifications were failing whenever the app was not already running, so after a snooze nothing arrived until you reopened it. Please also check Settings > Alarms & reminders shows "Allowed" - that is what makes alerts fire on the exact minute. Thanks for the detailed report, it is what made this findable.

Currently it's ok. Not good, just ok. App is set to NOT Optimize the battery but the app still says reminders won't function, and they don't ... until I activate the app. When selecting a day, I need to select the day after in order to get the day I want. Select the day first, otherwise the time defaults to 6pm.

Thanks for the detailed report, and sorry reminders have been unreliable. The next update turns the app into a notes app pinned to your status bar, so for timed reminders the Clock or Calendar app will serve you better.
