About Noty - Notes in Notification

Never forget a task again. Noty keeps your notes exactly where you look dozens of times a day — your notification shade.

Write a note, and it instantly appears as a persistent notification in your status bar. It stays there until you're done with it. No need to open any app, set a reminder, or remember to check a list.

KEY FEATURES

📌 Persistent Notifications

Every note you create appears as a notification that stays in your status bar. Your notes are always one swipe away.

🔄 Survives Everything

Notes are restored automatically after a phone restart. The app runs a lightweight background service to keep your notifications alive even after you close the app.

✏️ Add, Edit, Delete — Instantly

Create notes with a title and optional description. Edit or delete any note with a tap. A confirmation step prevents accidental deletions.

📌 Pin or Unpin Anytime

Choose which notes appear as notifications. Pin a note and it shows up in your status bar, locked in place until you remove it. Unpin it and it quietly moves back to the app — no notification, no clutter. Switch between pinned and unpinned at any time, directly from the notification or from the app.

⚡ Quick Settings Tile

Add a "Quick Note" tile to your Quick Settings panel. Tap it to open the add-note screen without unlocking your phone or navigating to the app.

🎨 Material You Design

Noty uses Material 3 with dynamic color — on Android 12 and above, the app automatically matches your wallpaper's color palette. Light, Dark, and System themes are all supported and persist across sessions.

⚙️ Make It Yours

Open Settings to switch themes, toggle wallpaper-based dynamic color on Android 12 and above, and choose whether new notes start out pinned. Your choices are remembered between launches.

🔍 Search Your Notes

Quickly filter your notes by title or description with the built-in search bar.

⏰ Reminders

Set a one-time reminder on any note with a date and time picker. Noty fires a notification right on time using exact alarms, so you never miss it.

🔒 100% Private

Noty is entirely local. No accounts, no cloud, no network access. Your notes never leave your device.
