Description

Notepad is a small and fast notetaking app for making notes, memos, or just any plain text content. Features:
* simple interface that most of the users find easy to use
* no limits on note's length or number of notes (of course there's a limit to phone's storage)
* creating and editing text notes
* importing notes from txt files, saving notes as txt files
* sharing notes with other apps (e.g. sending a note by email)
* notes widget allowing to quickly create or edit notes, working like post it notes (stick a memo to home screen)
* backup function for saving and loading notes from a backup file (zip file)
* app password lock
* color themes (including dark theme)
* note categories
* automatic note saving
* undo/redo changes in notes
* lines in background, numbered lines in a note
* technical support
* search function that can quickly find text in notes
* unlock app with biometrics (e.g. fingerprint or face recognition)

It may be obvious, but notes in the app can be used in many ways. For example as a to do list to increase productivity. A sort of digital planner to store shopping list or to organize the day. Notes can be put on the home screen as reminders. Each task could be stored in a seperate note or one big todo note could be used.

** Important **
Please remember to make a backup copy of notes before formatting a phone or buying a new phone. Since the 1.7.0 version the app will also use phone's device copy, if it's turned on in the device's and the app's settings.

* Why do I advise to not install the app on an SD card?
I follow the official advice to block installing on an SD card apps that use widgets. This app uses widgets, which are like icons for the notes, and can be placed on a phone's home screen (for example).

Comments on Notepad - simple notes for Android

★★★★★ Cecelia Watts · Sep 1, 2026

I've downloaded several notepad apps and after about two weeks I find I'm coming back to this one the most. I think it's the smoothness of it + the simplicity + not overwhelmed with options. + easy to navigate. + it autosave, so I don't worry about crashes. oh and you can add password protection (upon opening app that is)

★★★★★ Tanisha Tabassum · Aug 15, 2026

It's like the best note app. No fancy drama, no ads. Just write down your thoughts in a simple way. Love this one

★★★★★ Steve Fisher · Aug 26, 2026

I've been using this app for years now, and find it a very easy, handy app to use. It would be handy to be able to reorder the notes, but it's no big issue. Definitely recommend it.

★★☆☆☆ aslam jamal · Aug 25, 2026

After few line it start shaking out of control unless insert few blank line by pressing enter button. Again revert bark bak if remove that line.

★★☆☆☆ Muhammad Saeed Khan · Aug 15, 2026

I lost my all saved notes daved last three or four years because there is no simple way to save notes online email or in other not good way to restore... I tried to save and then restored but in van.

★☆☆☆☆ Jimmy Parks · Aug 25, 2026

Great app. Edit: sigh. In the big 2026 the developer thinks you need to see ads when making notes good thing there is hundreds of ad free options lmao. Ads in a notepad. 🤡 edit: maybe there was an option to disable ads I never checked but having the option to do so is great. Will take your word for it and leave 5 stars edit oh wow you lied. Hope you enjoy permanent 1 star. You watch an ad for 10 days ad free. Wake up dude it's 26 nobody needs to watch ads for a note pad embarrassing
