NoteMaker: Notes & Lists

NoteMaker is a simple, fast, and private app for notes and checklists on Android.
Perfect for quick notes, shopping lists, to-dos, ideas, and daily thoughts — without ads, accounts, or anything you don't need.

Free to use forever. An optional one-time Premium upgrade adds locked notes, Google Drive backup, and unlimited tags. No subscriptions.

✦ WHY NOTEMAKER

- No ads. Not a single one. Ever.
- No account required to start writing.
- Works fully offline. Cloud backup is optional and opt-in.
- No subscriptions. Premium is a one-time purchase, never recurring.

✦ CORE FEATURES

- Create, edit, and delete notes with a clean, distraction-free interface
- Instant search across all your notes by title, content, and tags
- Pin important notes to the top
- Duplicate any note in one tap — great for templates and recurring lists
- See when each note was last edited at a glance, with the exact time on tap
- Drag-and-drop manual reordering
- Switch between grid and list layout with one tap
- Long-press to select multiple notes for pinning, sharing, deletion, or duplication
- Auto-save — never lose a note, even if you press back accidentally
- Light and dark themes — follow system or set manually
- In English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, and Ukrainian

✦ CHECKLISTS (FREE)

- Start a checklist from an empty note, or turn any note into one
- Tick items off with one tap — done items move to the bottom
- Lists you already typed with dashes or numbers convert as they are
- Uncheck all or clear done items at once — perfect for shopping lists you reuse
- See open items right on the note card

✦ TAGS

- Label notes with tags for quick organization
- Filter the note list by tag with one tap
- Smart tag suggestions as you type — reuse tags effortlessly
- Free: one tag per note. Premium: unlimited tags.

✦ PREMIUM (ONE-TIME UPGRADE)

- Lock individual notes with your fingerprint or device PIN. Title and content are encrypted on your device using AES-256, with the key held in the Android Keystore. Your biometrics and PIN are handled by Android — the app never sees them.
- Back up all your notes to your own Google Drive, into a private folder only NoteMaker can see. The app cannot access any of your other Drive files. Back up manually, or turn on automatic daily backups.
- Restore from Drive with three modes: replace, merge, or add.
- Unlimited tags per note.
- One-time purchase. No subscriptions.

✦ IMPORT & EXPORT

Unlike most note apps, NoteMaker lets you take your data with you:

- Export all your notes to a single JSON file
- Import notes from JSON with three modes: Replace, Merge, or Add
- Share individual notes via any app — messengers, email, cloud storage
- Your notes. Your device. Your control.

✦ PRIVACY-FIRST

- Your notes stay on your device by default
- Optional Google Drive backup goes only to your own private folder — the app cannot see, read, or modify any of your other Drive files
- No tracking of note content; analytics measure usage, not what you write
- No account required for the core app — Google sign-in only if you choose to use Drive backup

✦ DESIGN

Distinctive monochrome interface — clean and distraction-free.
Available in light and dark themes (or follow your system setting).
Thoughtfully crafted for writers, thinkers, and anyone who values focus over flash.

✦ PERFECT FOR

- Quick thoughts and ideas
- Shopping lists and to-do checklists
- Meeting notes
- Journal entries
- Study notes
- Code snippets and references
- Private notes you'd rather keep behind a lock
- Anything you want to remember

✦ ACTIVELY DEVELOPED

NoteMaker is actively maintained and improved by an independent developer.
New features are guided by user feedback — keep ideas coming.
