QuiNotes: Notes & Checklists

A note should open, take what is in your head, and get out of the way.

QuiNotes opens straight into your notes. No account, no sign-in, nothing to
set up. Start typing and it is saved.

EVERY NOTE WEARS ITS OWN PAPER

A note about the weekend should not look like a note about work. Give each one
its own paper — its own colour, its own ruling, its own lettering — and you know
which is which before you read a word.

Every paper comes built into the app.

LOCK ANY NOTE. FREE, FOR EVER

Put a lock on a note and it opens with your fingerprint or your screen lock.
It is not part of any upgrade and it will not become one.

Be clear about what the lock does: it keeps a note off the screen. It is not
encryption. Export a note or make a backup and locked notes are written in
plain text — the app says so before it writes the file. Passwords and card
numbers belong somewhere built for them, not here.

WHAT THE FREE APP DOES

• Notes and checklists, with ticks that stay ticked
• Photos and voice memos inside any note
• A lock on any note
• Search across titles, text, checklist lines and tags
• Reminders on a date and time you choose
• A home screen widget, with a button that starts a new note
• Categories, to file notes the way you actually think about them
• A calendar view of what you wrote and when
• Archive, and a trash that holds deleted notes for 30 days
• Export as plain text, Markdown or PDF, and print
• Back up everything to an ordinary .zip file
• 20 languages

YOUR NOTES NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE

There is no server and no account, so there is nowhere for a note to be sent.
Searching happens here, on this phone.

QuiNotes is not backed up by Google either, and that is why the backup file
exists: an ordinary .zip you can keep on Drive, a memory card or a computer —
whichever you already use. Nothing to sign in to.

ONE THING TO BUY, ONCE

The free version is the whole app, and ads pay for it: a banner, one when the
app opens, and now and then one when you leave a note.

One payment unlocks everything and removes every ad:

• Every paper, and a designer to make your own
• A paper for the home screen widget
• Bold, italics, headings and lists in the editor
• No ads at all, including the one on opening

There is nothing else to buy. No subscription, and nothing expires.

Quick notes. Every paper is built in, and every lock is free.
