Simple Notes is an easy-to-use notes app that leaves out the extras, so writing, organising, and finding notes stay simple.
Notes go into colour-coded folders, and you can find them from the calendar or the photo album. No account or setup is required, and the app works offline.
Keep everything in one place, from class notes and work memos to a diary or baby journal.

[Function Details]
■ Add Photos to Notes
Attach images to any note. Pick pictures saved on your phone, or take a photo on the spot.
■ Full-Note Image & PDF
Turn a whole note, even a long one with photos, into one image with a tap, or export it as a PDF for work or school.
■ Folder Organisation
Sort notes into folders with 24 colours to tell categories apart at a glance. Free users get up to 7 folders. Premium removes the limit.
■ Calendar View
Tap a date on the built-in calendar to see that day's notes. Set the start of the week and choose which days count as days off.
■ Photo Album
Browse every image added to notes in one place, and tap one to jump to its note.
■ Home Screen Widget
Pin a note to your Home screen like a sticky note. Choose the note to display, its text size, text colour and background opacity. Widgets are part of the Premium Service.
■ Sort Notes & Bullet Lists
Sort by note date, date edited, date created, or title, ascending or descending. Bullet lists suit shopping lists.
■ Trash
Deleted notes stay in the Trash for 60 days, so you can restore them. Empty the Trash to delete them right away.
■ Passcode Lock
Protect your notes with a passcode. Fingerprint and face unlock are not supported.
■ Theme Colours
Pick from 23 theme colours, including dark themes for night use. Some themes are part of the Premium Service.
■ Smart Search
Find notes fast with search. Type "#Important" in a note to find it later.
■ Text Display Settings
Adjust text size, weight, and line spacing to suit your eyes.
■ Character Count
See the character count as you write. Each note holds up to 100,000 characters.
■ Google Drive Backup
Back up your notes to Google Drive with your Google Account and restore them on a new phone. Data cannot be transferred between the Android and iOS versions.
■ Data Export (Premium)
Export notes as a ZIP file in HTML (for Windows) or TXT. Keep them on your computer, hand them to AI apps for summaries, or save them to Notion or Google Drive.
■ Remove Ads (Premium)
Premium hides all ads for a clean, distraction-free screen.

Free to use, with ads. Google Drive backup is also free. Premium (monthly, annual, or one-off purchase) removes ads and unlocks the widget, all theme colours, unlimited folders, data export, and priority support. The annual plan has a 7-day free trial.
[Good to Know]
· Works on Android phones, online or offline
· No handwriting inside notes and no audio recording. Built for text and photos
[Important Note]
Notes are stored on your device, so deleting the app deletes them. Create a Google Drive backup before switching phones.
