About this app

FairNote is a simple and intuitive notepad app, giving you speed and efficiency while writing notes, making to-do lists, or jotting down quick ideas. You can organize notes using labels/tags and different colors, use reminders to keep better track of your tasks, protect sensitive data using industry-standard encryption, and best of all, if your device supports biometric authentication, you can conveniently use that to encrypt and decrypt notes without having to enter your encryption password every time.

Features
• Create text and checklist notes
• Assign labels/tags and colors to notes

• Encrypt/decrypt notes individually, or in batches
• Backup/restore notes using Google Drive, Dropbox, Yandex Disk, WebDAV or Device Storage
• Add new notes directly from the notification area
• Pin frequently used notes to the status bar and quickly access them from the notification area
• Set reminder for note, even for pinned notes
• Organize notes in a list or grid view
• Powerful text search, highlighting full and partial matches

• Filter notes by labels
• Receive shared texts from other apps
• Sticky note and note list widgets with transparency configuration
• Batch operations

Please remember your encryption password, even if you use biometric auth. You may lose access to your encrypted notes if you forget it.

This is an easy to use note/reminder app that allows you to keep both encrypted & plain text notes or checklists in the same place. To open your encrypted notes you have to type in your password each time then again when you save the note to re-encrypt it. This is a nice alternative to the ColorNote app. You also have the option to backup locally/Dropbox/Google Drive/couple others. My only wish is that for reminder times the devs add a X-months option instead of just monthly. Good app!

I like the bulleted list and note options on this app as well as the color options. The encryption options are wanting because: 1) you have to use eight characters; 2) you can only choose one encryption password for ALL lists, but they don't let you know that ahead of time; and 3) you can never EVER change your password. Ever! I like variance. Let me change my damned password! They're my notes!

You can remove your current password and assign a new one from FairNote's Encryption settings. Thanks for your review

This is perfect!! I downloaded every single simple notepad/memo app available that didn't include ads and out of all 9, this is the app that has everything I need without any unnecessary extras. It's very similar to the original Android "memo" app on Samsung phones, but better. 2 bugs/suggestions: first, with time selection it'd be nice of you could type in the hour/minutes because it's hard to select a precise time. 2nd, if you pin a note to status bar and bulk delete notes, it stays pinned.

Thanks for your review. I'll look into the bulk delete issue with pinned notes.[Edit] The batch delete issue has been fixed in the beta channel: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rgiskard.fairnote
