Privacy Friendly Notes

This app lets you create and manage notes. Currently it supports four types of notes:

• Text
• Checklist
• Audio
• Sketch

All of them can be saved on the internal storage or shared with other apps. You can also assign categories.

This app belongs to the group of Privacy Friendly Apps developed by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

Motivation

Building

Further development requires Android Studio, we recommend to use the latest version.
