Localnote

**LocalNote — Private Notes, Stored Locally** LocalNote is a simple, fast, and privacy-focused note-taking app for people who want their notes to stay on their device. Write ideas, create checklists, organize thoughts, and manage personal or technical notes without creating an account. **Your notes stay on your device by default. No account, no ads, and no tracking.** ### ✨ Everything You Need for Notes • **Instant Note-Taking** — Create and edit notes with automatic saving. • **Distraction-Free Editor** — Enjoy a clean and focused writing experience. • **Tags** — Organize notes and filter them quickly. • **Powerful Search** — Search note titles and content, including `tag:` searches. • **Markdown Support** — Write in Markdown and preview formatted content. • **Pin Notes** — Keep important notes at the top. • **Flexible Sorting** — Sort by modified date, creation date, or alphabetically. • **Version History** — View and restore previous versions of your notes. • **Trash** — Recover deleted notes or permanently delete them. • **Dark Mode** — Enjoy comfortable reading and writing in low light. • **Customizable Settings** — Adjust font size, note-list density, and more. • **Import & Export** — Back up and move notes between supported platforms. • **Optional Google Drive Backup** — Back up and restore notes using your own Google account. ### 🔒 Privacy First Your notes belong to you. • No account required for basic use. • No advertising or tracking. • No analytics collecting usage data. • No developer-operated server storing your notes. • No cloud backup enabled by default. • No online publishing or collaboration. Your notes are encrypted locally using **AES-256-GCM** before being stored on your device. The encryption key is protected using your platform's secure storage. Your notes remain on your device unless you choose to export them or enable Google Drive backup. ### ☁️ Optional Google Drive Backup Need to back up your notes or move them to another device? Connect your Google account to use optional Google Drive backup. • **You Choose** — Backup stays off until you connect your account. • **Restricted Access** — LocalNote uses Google's `drive.appdata` permission to access its own hidden application data, not your other Drive files. • **Flexible Backups** — Back up manually or choose a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. • **Restore Notes** — Download your backup when needed. • **Merge or Replace** — Combine imported notes with existing notes or replace your current collection. Backups transfer directly from your device to Google Drive without passing through a server operated by the developer. **Note:** Google Drive backup files are not protected by LocalNote's on-device encryption. They rely on your Google account security and Google's data protection measures. ### 📦 Your Data, Your Control Export your notes to a file and import them on another supported platform. Choose to merge notes or replace your existing collection. Exported files are outside the app's on-device encryption, so keep them somewhere safe. ### 💻 Available Across Platforms LocalNote is designed for a consistent note-taking experience across supported platforms, including Android, iOS, and Web. Use LocalNote to capture ideas, maintain checklists, store technical notes, write Markdown documents, and organize your personal knowledge. ### 🛡️ Simple Notes. Private by Design. No accounts for basic use. No ads. No tracking. No developer-operated cloud storage for your notes. Local storage by default. Optional backup when you choose. **LocalNote — Your Notes. Your Device.
