Comments on Notepad Classic - Text Editor for Android

★★★★★ Sebastian Castillo · Jul 27, 2026
The app is light and work fine on its features, at the moment I write this. Using windows visuals is a pro move (even more using this app on windowed/split screen) for who use windows notepad instead native and unnecessary optimized notes apps, this does what I need, simply flawless, will keep using it.
★★★★★ Ken S. · Feb 1, 2025
The only good note taking app on Android. Text and save. The only functions you need.
★★★★★ Codey Wessel · Mar 5, 2025
Awesome, Love the app!!, Looks JUSTT Like the Windows XP Notepad, No ads, no Intros, just straight to the writing, And you can also save the .txt files to your phone which is very awesome 👌.
★☆☆☆☆ Eeee B · Aug 17, 2026
Major bug reported but unfixed for months: Typed text disappears under keyboard if you type long enough on Android. Side installing older version removes this bug. Operationally: FIND option is missing. Please do what it takes to fix this bug, and please introduce FIND option. Other similar apps have it, you can and should too.
★☆☆☆☆ Charles Cox · Jun 18, 2026
I've only been able to successfully save one file with his app. I cannot open and resave only that file. I can create new files, but the app never saves them, and never gives any indication that save was unsuccessful. Uninstalling.
★★☆☆☆ NorthWoodsVideo · Nov 25, 2025
App doesn't rmember the file name it was saved to, continuously defaults to "unsaved.txt", requiring many extra steps to save. It feels like I'm computing in the 1980s again.

Description by Griffin Developer Labs Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Two editors in one app. The classic notepad you already know how to use, and a modern one for when the file you have opened turns out to be code.

No account. No sign-in. Nothing to set up. Install it and start typing.


📝 THE CLASSIC EDITOR

It opens straight into an empty page, the way the desktop notepad always did. File, Edit, Format — the menus are where you expect them, and so is everything under them.

• Open and edit any plain text file, whatever its extension
• Find and replace, with match case and a running count of matches
• Undo and redo, cut, copy, paste, select all
• Save As, including changing a file's extension to whatever you need
• Nine fonts and sixteen text sizes
• Starts in well under a second and stays out of your way


🌙 THE MODERN EDITOR

The same files, a better way to work with them.

• Syntax colouring, picked up from the file the moment you open it
• Every file in its own tab — keep up to ten open and move between them without losing your place
• Line numbers, word wrap, tab size and current-line highlighting
• Light and dark themes
• Find and replace
• Your open tabs are waiting for you the next time you come back


💻 LANGUAGES IT COLOURS

• Java, Kotlin, Swift
• Python, Ruby, PHP
• JavaScript, TypeScript
• C, C++, C#, Go, Rust
• HTML, XML, CSS
• JSON, YAML, SQL, Shell
• Markdown, and plain text


📂 FILES IT OPENS

• TXT, LOG, CSV, MD, INI, CONF
• JSON, XML, YAML, HTML, CSS, JS
• JAVA, KT, PY, PHP, RB, GO, RS, SQL, SH
• Anything else that is really just text, whatever it calls itself


🔒 OFFLINE, AND PRIVATE

• Nothing you write is uploaded — the app has no way to send a document anywhere
• No account, no profile, no email address, nothing to sign in to
• Works with no connection at all
• Your files stay in your own storage, opened from it and saved back to it


💡 WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR

• A shopping list you can open and close in three seconds
• A log file nothing else on the phone will open
• A stray comma in a JSON config, fixed on the bus
• A stylesheet you want to actually read, with the colours in the right places
• Notes on a document someone sent you, without waiting for anything to sync
• Renaming a .txt to a .csv because that is all it ever needed
• A scratchpad that is just a file, not an account


It is small, it is quick, and it does not get in your way.
