About this app

Notepad is a small and fast notetaking app for making notes, memos, or just any plain text content. Features:
* simple interface that most of the users find easy to use
* no limits on note's length or number of notes (of course there's a limit to phone's storage)
* creating and editing text notes
* importing notes from txt files, saving notes as txt files
* sharing notes with other apps (e.g. sending a note by email)
* notes widget allowing to quickly create or edit notes, working like post it notes (stick a memo to home screen)
* backup function for saving and loading notes from a backup file (zip file)
* app password lock
* color themes (including dark theme)
* note categories
* automatic note saving
* undo/redo changes in notes
* lines in background, numbered lines in a note
* technical support
* search function that can quickly find text in notes
* unlock app with biometrics (e.g. fingerprint or face recognition)

It may be obvious, but notes in the app can be used in many ways. For example as a to do list to increase productivity. A sort of digital planner to store shopping list or to organize the day. Notes can be put on the home screen as reminders. Each task could be stored in a seperate note or one big todo note could be used.

** Important **
Please remember to make a backup copy of notes before formatting a phone or buying a new phone. Since the 1.7.0 version the app will also use phone's device copy, if it's turned on in the device's and the app's settings.

* Why do I advise to not install the app on an SD card?
I follow the official advice to block installing on an SD card apps that use widgets. This app uses widgets, which are like icons for the notes, and can be placed on a phone's home screen (for example).

If you have any additional questions, just contact me by email: [email protected] .

Thank you.

I really like this app to help me keep track of appointments, grocery lists, etc. I can make notes, write story ideas, and write drafts of personal notes that I need to think through before sending. A checklist has now been added so that I can check off items as completed. Thank you so much for adding that very helpful feature as requested. I give this app five stars. It is a very useful tool that has now been tweaked to do everything I need to keep track of all the necessary to remember things.

Hi. I will add a checklist feature in one of the next updates. It should be very helpful when creating lists for tasks or groceries. Thank you for rating the app.

This app is real great, there's no annoying pop ups, and it's just really simple and convenient. Multilanguage text, basically endless space for writing and notes. The formatting feature is a bit tedious if you want to copy/paste since it doesn't save then. But all still deserving of 5 stars.

Really good App. I've been using Notepad for a long time (on my last 3 phones). Just a suggestion...it would be nice to see a "recently viewed or opened" files in the sort filter. I mostly use Notepad for recipes and it would be helpful if I could see which ones I used last.

Hi Howard. Thank you for using the app for so long. There's actually no need to use the "Save'" button at all. The app saves all changes automatically, whenever it's needed. Just try not using the button for some time and you'll see that no data is lost. If you'll find otherwise, please email me at [email protected] you for the review.

What’s new

Update 1.37.0:
