About this app

Dark note is totally free. There are no features behind a paywall.

Dark note is also ad-free so you can enjoy note-taking without getting annoyed by bombardments of weird and dumb ads. If you want to support Dark Note, buy me some coffee by going to the settings page and clicking on the cool-looking coffee cup.

Dark note makes it easy to add notes and checklists. Its design is very easy on the eyes and is also easy to use.

Taking a Note
The only limit for the note length is the capacity of your device storage. Once a note is created, any edits will be saved letter by letter. Notes can be archived, shared, locked, exported, and much more.

Making a Checklist
You can add as many items as you want. List items can be easily edited or deleted by clicking on the edit icon. Each item can be checked off with a simple click in which that item is striked-through and once all items have been checked off, the title will also be striked-through marking completion.

Dark Note is a hidden gem of an app. Even though it's described as a checklist and budget note system, it's much more than just that. It's quite similar to Obsidian and Notion in many ways, however it has its own unique look and design that I personally like more then them. You can tell the app was made with love by the developer(s), great job whoever you are! Not only is the app basically perfect, it is also completely and honestly free and with no ads. 10 out of 10. 🌟

💕 your review. I spent a lot of time into curating a simple yet useful user experience. I use it myself, a lot, which is probably why you feel the love. No ads, ads suck.

This app has changed my life! it's feature are welcoming enough for anybody and it feels like a personal notepad & pen anywhere you go, the difference that stood out for me compared to all other note apps (Black Note, Walling, OneNote) is the ability to see in full detail the time and date of a note even to the second! It motivates me to use every hour I have on the day smarter keeping notes on things that I would usually just "remember it later" and forget. My only complain is the icon 🤫🧏

Versatile and customizable. This app is easy to use. You can change titles, customize title and font colors. The notes can be different colors. You can make backups of your notes. You can even create folders to put various notes in. I've been using ColorNote for years and decided to try this app as an alternative because I have was having problems with ColorNote working with my keyboard on my new phone. I'd say the two apps are similar without the keyboard problem.

Hello Spence, thanks for the review. I actually based my app on ColorNote and BlackNote, so that is why you feel they are similar. I was also a ColorNote user, but I did not like how outdated the user interface was, so that is one of the main reasons why I made this app. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to write a review, much appreciated!
