About Nota: Notes, Lists & Sketches
Nota is a notes app that keeps your notes where they belong: on your device. There is no account to create and no cloud to trust. Open it and start writing.
WRITE
• Rich text: headings, bold, italic, underline, lists, quotes, code blocks and links
• Checklists that show how many items are done
• Photos from your gallery or camera, right in the note
• Word and character counts as you type
SKETCH
• Draw inside any note with a pen, pencil or highlighter
• Pick colours and stroke width, undo and redo
• The sketch sits in the note and shows on your notes list
ORGANISE
• Folders and coloured tags
• Pin the notes you need every day
• Archive what you are done with
• Search every note, with filters for type, tag and date
• Colour a note's background so it stands out
REMEMBER
• Put a reminder on any note and get a notification when it is due
PROTECT
• Lock a note behind your fingerprint, face or screen lock
• Version history keeps the earlier text of a note, so you can go back
• Deleted notes wait in the Trash for 30 days
• Back up everything to a single file and restore it on any device
SHARE
• Send a note as text, PDF or Markdown
• Export all your notes as a ZIP of Markdown files
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
