Perfect note app. No network, all local. No spooky permissions. Just basic text notes with export and import. Encryption options are nice too. I installed it on my old mobile and copied notes into it from my old defunct note app. I exported the notes and was able to import them onto my new mobile. This note app really is perfect. Keep it simple.

The app is super simple and amazing. I just request developer to not change much about it and don't add paywall or subscription model please. This is beautiful as it is. thank you

Update: Previously, the app shows an error when open the app. I contact the devs about the issue, and they immediately fix it. My notes are back! Thank you! My apologies for overreacting. I'll keep using the app anyway for now because this is the only notes app has no trackers (according to Exodus) & simple, everything else is what the app described. 😄

Widget support to pin a single note on home screen would be nice (like in notally). A widget like this is usable to remind yourself stuff when you use your phone. Quick note widget would also be nice. You can also add grid as viewing option (like in quill pad).

Nicer looking than v1.6.3. But, in this latest version, there is no way to paste text! I'll stick with v1.6.3 for now. Uninstalled.
