About NotePad

NotePad — Open Source Notes App

GPL-3.0-only
A simple and intuitive notepad based on the app bundled with Palm Pilot.
  • Entirely offline, requiring few permissions to run.
    • Permission to use external storage is only needed to back up or restore your notes on Marshmallow (Android 6) and older.
    • The following permissions are added by WorkManager, a Google library used to run the export, import, and password re-encryption operations in the background when initiated by the user. The core app does not use these on its own.
      • Permission to run a foreground service, added on Pie (Android 9) and later.
      • Permission to view network connections, used by WorkManager to determine the best time to schedule background tasks.
      • Permission to prevent the phone from sleeping, used by WorkManager to keep the processor awake while a background task is running.
      • Permission to run at startup, used by WorkManager to reschedule any pending background task after the phone is rebooted.
  • Create any number of categories for different notes.
  • Mark notes as private and optionally encrypt them with a password.
  • Export notes to a local XML file.
  • Import notes from an XML file.
  • Backwards compatible with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and up.
