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 give it five stars a long time ago. Your app has everything indeed and i use it for couple of years without missing anything but today I miss some features. 1. in search there is no search and replace. 2. In sort there is no manual sort. 3. Notes in trash can't be fully view unless restored. 4. Backup to text should be zipped in a zip file. 5. Can you provide a paid version without ads or internet access. Thanks

I've been using this app for over 3 years. I can make & save shopping lists, Christmas lists, recipes, to-do lists, etc. I love this app!! I'm not a computer savvy person but it's easy enough for even someone like me to figure out how to share any one of my pages with family and friends. The Good Lord Willing, I plan on using this app forever!!! :) :) :)

Hi, I love this app very much. It was one of my goto apps when I got a new phone. Thank goodness it backs-up so all my notes remained the same. ONE suggestion. It would be nice to have a section for categories where you open a specific category and all your notes in it show up so you can find them easier within the category. GREAT APP NONETHELESS Edit: Thanks for the reply, it definitely helped. I'm just dumb and didn't realize 🙃
