ordinary notes

ordinary notes is a private, lightweight, fully-offline notes app for Android. Built for people who don't want a notebook that phones home. WHAT YOU GET • Sidebar-first, Notion-style layout. Top-level pages, sub-pages, kebab menu for add / rename / move-to-trash. • Block-based editor: paragraph, heading 1/2/3, bulleted list, numbered list, todo, quote, code block, divider. • Type "/" to summon the slash menu and change block types without leaving the keyboard. • Emoji icons per page (100+ curated glyphs). • Background auto-save. Type a sentence, and a moment later it's already on disk. No "Save" button, no sync, no spinner. • Full-text search across page titles and body content. • Trash: 7-day soft delete with Restore and Delete-forever actions. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN No sign-up. No account. No cloud sync. No analytics. No crash reporting. No remote config. No network permission. No third-party SDKs. Everything you type lives only on this device, in the app's private storage. If you uninstall ordinary notes, your notes go with it — zero servers, zero leaks. LIGHT + FAST • Single-Activity Compose UI. No nav-graph bloat. • Room/SQLite for indexing and search; kotlinx.serialization for blocks. • Minimal dependencies. The release AAB is around 425 KB. • minSdk 24 (Android 7.0); targetSdk 36. WHO THIS IS FOR • Writers, students, developers, and anyone who wants a scratchpad that doesn't ship their thoughts to a marketing CDN. • People who tried Notion / Obsidian and wanted just the editor and tree — without the SaaS. NO NETWORK NEEDED The app declares no internet permission. You can verify this in Settings → Apps → ordinary notes → Permissions.
