Plainly
Write it down.
Keep it yours.
Notes and to-do lists that live on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking.
Free for Android 7.0 and later. In 8 languages.
Write, tick off, finish.
A new note opens ready to type and saves itself. Headings, lists and checklists are one tap away, and your progress shows right in the notes list.
Find it the moment you need it.
Search titles and content across every folder. Plainly matches Turkish characters naturally, so ışık, isik and IŞIK all find each other.
Your notes, on your home screen.
Three widgets keep recent notes and open tasks in view, and take you straight to a new note.
Five colors. One calm app.
Pick a color and the app and widgets follow. Light, dark or system theme, whichever suits your day.
Your notes stay with you.
- No internet permission. Plainly cannot connect to any server.
- No account, ads or analytics. Nothing to sign up for, nothing watching.
- One-file backup. Notes, folders, photos and templates, ready for a new phone.
- App and note lock. Use your fingerprint, face or device lock to control access.
