Comments on FairNote - Encrypted Notes for Android

★★★★☆ Ri Rigu · Jan 31, 2026
Fair note is a good app and working fine, but why omit text highlight, bold, underline and the rest surely! Because with more added simple editing of notes, the app would be a masterpiece.
★★★★★ Cacao Heart · Mar 24, 2026
This is a great note app. It's simple, lets you do backup, lets you do encryption and keeps you in control.
★★★★★ Mario C · Nov 3, 2026
This app is one of the best I have found for an older notepad I used that encrypted my notes, it's great! All the features it has makes it way better than my previous one. After trying it out for about 5 mins, I immediately bought the Lifetime subscription. Great backup options too! The ONLY thing I would suggest as a security feature for a future update is the ability to take pics of unauthorized users trying to access the app, or a locked note if the app is open. Wish I was a beta tester for it
★☆☆☆☆ V N (MarCom) · Jul 11, 2026
Hey developer, I'm unable to see the backup option and restore and confirmation of both being done in real-time. I have seen the option in the left slider but can't see if the confirmation of backup is happening or not. Kindly assist.
★☆☆☆☆ Pratik Ghosh 2112 · Nov 9, 2025
I can't restore my backup files, I have them in my drive and phone, it's still not restoring, just saying restart the app once done, the app is crashing and when I'm opening it again, there are no notes, I'm very frustrated cause of that, I need the dev team to reach out and help me
★☆☆☆☆ Traxx Togo · May 24, 2026
No folder in folder option, useless to me without one! Update: you can't put a label in a label!
★☆☆☆☆ Craig Harwood · Oct 15, 2026
Have been using for years. Was updating my gardening note and somehow without my noticing deleted everything but one period(.). Now I cannot get it back so all that information is lost. Great.

Description by FairNote Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Take fast, secure notes and protect your private information with AES-256 encryption.
FairNote is the intuitive notepad app for quick ideas, to-do lists, and personal journals, combining speed, simplicity, and privacy in one place.


Key Benefits:

• Encrypted notes: Protect each note individually. Content stays encrypted; titles remain readable for quick scanning.
• Encrypted images: Images added to encrypted notes stay encrypted alongside the note content, keeping your images protected and private.
• Fast note-taking: Create text or checklist notes in seconds. Supports undo/redo, search & replace, and Markdown preview.
• Organize efficiently: Use labels, colors, filters, pinned notes, and home screen shortcuts to keep everything under control.
• Smart reminders: Set one-time or recurring reminders, even for pinned notes.
• Easy access: Add new notes from notifications, widgets, or directly from other apps.
• Backup & restore: Keep notes safe with Google Drive, Dropbox, WebDAV, Yandex Disk, or local storage.
• Biometric security: Use fingerprints or other biometrics (Android 6.0+) to lock/unlock notes quickly.


Pro Features:

• Biometric encryption: encrypt and decrypt notes without typing your password
• One-tap encryption: encrypt or decrypt your entire note collection with a single tap
• App lock: protect the app with your device PIN, pattern, or biometrics
• Image attachments: add images to your notes. Images are saved at a smaller size and remain encrypted in encrypted notes
• Recurring reminders: stay on track with automatic daily or weekly alerts


Additional Highlights:

• Organize notes in list or grid view
• Sort notes by date, color, or alphabetically
• Perform batch operations: encrypt, decrypt, delete, or export multiple notes
• Receive shared texts from other apps
• Sticky notes and note list widgets with transparency control
• Import and export notes individually or in batches
• Archive notes and set automatic/manual save preferences
• Multi-language support: Bengali, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish


FairNote makes note-taking simple, fast, and secure, so you can focus on your ideas while keeping your private information safe.


⚠️ Important: Always remember your encryption password. Even with biometrics, forgetting it may result in losing access to your encrypted notes.

Recent changes:
- Added an option to pin specific notes to the top of the note list
- Fixed the note list widget not loading when handling a large number of notes
- Updated for Android 17 compatibility
