This is simple text editor that can help you with editing text files.

This editor mostly used by me for small text notes, write down ideas while I have a break.

Supports only plain text files at the moment.

The code is open so can review code, send pull requests, new features, translations and so on. https://github.com/maxistar/TextPad.

Comments on Simple Text Editor for Android

★★★★☆ I am Dew · Jun 30, 2026
It's a decent text editor, but in my case it can't open a 500kb text file. After a while it blanks and exit.
★★★★★ Rin · Sep 21, 2026
Everything you want in a text editor, nothing you don't. Local files, manual save and exit, prompt to save on exit if unsaved. Customizable font and colors, with dark and light mode presets. No ads, no cloud, no account. Open source. Perfection.
★★★★★ Santokh Singh · Sep 15, 2026
Simple and good. Have been using it for years... Does the job for quick notes. Thanks for making it ad free.
★★☆☆☆ Steven Austin · Feb 15, 2026
I agree a simple .txt file editor is sorely needed, but this isn't it. I opened a .txt file that I created in Windows to edit. The issue described in earlier reviews about randomly moving the focus to the bottom of the text really makes the app unusable, especially since it happened on every line multiple times. Also, to get around the limitations of the on-screen keyboard, I tried to use a Bluetooth keyboard. The app did not recognize the tab character at all.
★★☆☆☆ Americo Castellanos · Oct 6, 2026
There is still an issue with the "Open Recent Files/ Open Last Edited File" that has not worked right. Only kept track of old files I created but not the recently created or opened files. Second time comment posted but no response from the developer!
★☆☆☆☆ Aleksey Yablokov · Mar 29, 2026
This editor looses typed text if it was not explicitly saved. Usually, editors resume the previous text when opened again. I lost an important PIN that I typed quickly before adding it to the password manager. It took much time to recover it. UPD I see it has the "autosaving" setting, but it's disabled by default. UPD2 The "autosaving" setting doesn't save new documents
