NotePad

A simple and intuitive notepad based on the app bundled with Palm Pilot.

Entirely offline, requiring few permissions to run.

Permission to use external storage is only needed to back up or

restore your notes on Marshmallow (Android 6) and older.

The following permissions are added by WorkManager, a Google

library used to run the export, import, and password re-encryption

operations in the background when initiated by the user. The core

app does not use these on its own.

Permission to run a foreground service, added on Pie (Android 9)

and later.

Permission to view network connections, used by WorkManager to

determine the best time to schedule background tasks.

Permission to prevent the phone from sleeping, used by WorkManager

to keep the processor awake while a background task is running.

Permission to run at startup, used by WorkManager to reschedule

any pending background task after the phone is rebooted.

Create any number of categories for different notes.

Mark notes as private and optionally encrypt them with a password.

Export notes to a local XML file.

Import notes from an XML file.

Backwards compatible with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and up.
