About this app

Simple Notes Sync is a calm, private home for your notes and checklists. Everything lives on your device. When you want it everywhere, it syncs to your own server - no account, no cloud, no tracking. Ever.

It stays out of your way: the whole app is under 5 MB, starts instantly, and works fully offline.

ORGANIZE
• Text notes and checklists with tap-to-check and drag & drop
• Colored folders to sort everything your way
• Pin important notes to the top
• Grid or list view, 1-5 columns
• Sort by title, date, or type

YOUR SERVER, YOUR RULES
• Sync with any WebDAV server (Nextcloud, ownCloud, and more)
• Use it across phone, tablet, and desktop
• Decide when it syncs: on save, on open, on Wi-Fi, periodically, or on boot
• Wi-Fi-only sync, VPN support, parallel transfers, self-signed SSL
• Live sync progress, smart conflict resolution, server-deletion detection

COMING FROM ANOTHER APP?

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking libraries

What’s new

🪶 v2.14.0 - Featherweight

• New: activity log in Settings - what happened to your notes, what started each sync. Local only
• New: WebDAV servers without basic auth now work
• Faster sync: far fewer requests, none when nothing to do
• Fix: a folder that failed to list looked like a deletion - notes went to trash. Heals next sync
• Fix: shared logs no longer carry your server path or filenames
• Updated translations: ZH, ID, NB, RU, IT, FR
