Private Notes: Secure Notepad

Private Notes App is a secure, offline-first notepad that encrypts every note on your device — and keeps an encrypted backup in your own Google Drive. No account to create, no company servers holding your words, no one but you with the key.

Quick thoughts, daily journal entries, to-do checklists, meeting notes or voice memos — everything stays fast, organised and genuinely private.

🔒 PRIVACY BY DESIGN (ZERO-KNOWLEDGE ENCRYPTION)
• AES-256-GCM encryption with Argon2id key derivation
• Notes are encrypted on your phone before they ever leave it
• We run no backend and hold no copy of your key — your notes cannot be read by us
• Fingerprint and biometric app lock, with PIN fallback
• Personal recovery key so you never lose access to your own data

☁️ ENCRYPTED GOOGLE DRIVE BACKUP & SYNC
• Backup notes to your own private Google Drive app folder
• Sign in once — notes restore automatically when you change phone
• Only encrypted data is uploaded, so your notes stay unreadable in the cloud
• Fully offline capable; changes sync the moment you are back online

✍️ A NOTEPAD THAT WRITES BEAUTIFULLY

• Checklists and to-do lists with tap-to-tick items
• Colour-coded notes and pin-to-top for what matters most
• Clean, distraction-free writing screen built for one hand

🎙️ VOICE NOTES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSCRIPTION

• Meeting notes, lecture notes and study revision

WHY CHOOSE PRIVATE NOTES APP
Most free notepad apps keep your notes in plain text on someone else's server. This one does not. Your notes live encrypted on your device, your backup lives encrypted in your Drive, and the key stays with you from start to finish. That is what zero-knowledge means in practice.

Lightweight, fast and ad-supported, with a one-tap Remove Ads upgrade whenever you want it. You can start writing immediately — signing in is only needed if you want cloud backup.
