About this app

Swift Color Notes is a fast, private notepad application for Android: colour-coded notes, checklists and reminders in one place, with no account, no subscription and no ads.

Write the way you think. Type a quick thought, sketch a diagram, or jot something down by hand. Freehand drawing notes sit right beside typed text, so a stylus sketch and a shopping list can live in the same notebook. Drawing notes offline is the default here, not a paid extra.

WHAT YOU CAN MAKE
- Colour notes and sticky notes you can pin to the top of the list or to a home screen widget
- A checklist and a to-do list for daily tasks, class notes and shopping
- A journaling app and diary for longer daily writing, one entry at a time
- Freehand notepad pages: notepad freehand sketching with a stylus or a fingertip
- A PDF notes maker that exports any note or drawing to PDF and shares it anywhere
- Folders and colour labels that keep hundreds of notes findable

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Secure notes free of any cloud requirement. Lock the app behind a PIN and use notepad app hide to keep a private folder out of the main list. Nothing is uploaded, nothing syncs to a server you do not control, and no sign-in is needed to start writing. Your notes stay on your device.

REMINDERS THAT REACH YOU
Attach a reminder with an alarm and a notification to any note. Schedule it for a date and time, repeat it daily, and see everything on the calendar. A schedule planner for the week sits beside your notes instead of in a separate app, so the note and the deadline never drift apart.

CUTE, WITHOUT THE CLUTTER
Pick from a full palette. A to-do list cute enough to enjoy opening, a checklist app cute enough for kids, and a layout clean enough that adults can read it at a glance. Light and dark themes are both included, and the colour you choose carries through the note, the widget and the reminder.

BUILT FOR ANDROID

BACKUP AND RESTORE
Export a backup of every note, checklist and journal entry to a single file you keep yourself, then restore it on a new phone in seconds. Nothing here depends on our servers, so the backup you hold is the only copy that matters, and moving to a new device never costs you a note.

MORE THAN A MEMO PAD
Use it as a memo app for one-line thoughts, a grocery and shopping list you tick off in the aisle, a set of private notes with a password on them, or a diary with a lock password only you know. The journal is free, the notepad is free, and there is no paid tier waiting behind a feature you actually need.

Folders work as a proper organizer: group notes by project, by travel checklist, or by class, and switch the calendar to a month view when you are planning further ahead. Reminders notify you on time. Making a note takes one tap, and none of it needs an online account.

WHO IT IS FOR
Students keeping class notes and assignment checklists. Parents running a shopping list and chore checklist the kids can tick off. Anyone who wants a plain notepad for one-line thoughts, a note taking app with a stylus for sketching, a secure diary nobody else opens, or a simple planner for the day ahead. One free app instead of five.

Swift Color Notes stays out of your way. Open it, write, close it. There is no onboarding to sit through, no upsell, no feed, and no reason to sign in. The best notepad is the one that opens instantly and remembers exactly where you left off, and that is the whole design goal here: colour where it helps you find things, quiet everywhere else.
