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
