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 and colors to notes
• Protect notes with AES-256 encryption. Encrypted notes remain encrypted in the filesystem and backups. When both title and content exist, only the content is encrypted; the title stays in plaintext
• Encrypt and decrypt notes individually or in batches
• Back up and 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 for quick access from the notification area
• Set reminders for notes, including pinned ones
• Organize notes in list or grid view
• Perform powerful text searches, with full and partial matches highlighted
• Sort notes by date, color, or alphabetically
• Filter notes by labels
• Receive shared texts from other apps
• Use sticky note and note list widgets with transparency configuration
• Perform batch operations on notes
• Add home screen shortcuts to specific notes
• Preview Markdown content
• Import text files (individually or in batches)
• Export notes to text files (individually or in batches)
• Undo and redo text edits
• Choose between automatic or manual save preferences
• Search and replace text within notes
• Archive notes
• Access translations in Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish

Pro benefits:
• Recurring reminders
• Encrypt and decrypt all notes with a single click
• Encrypt and decrypt notes using fingerprints (Android 6.0+) and other biometrics (Android 10+)
• Access upcoming pro features
• Support ongoing development

Please remember your encryption password, even if you use biometric authentication. Forgetting it may result in losing access to your encrypted notes.

I don't normally comment on stuff like this, but the new update has been pissing me off. There's now an option for "beginning, middle, and end." In settings that will bring you to the top, bottom, or middle of a note. Which could be very, very awesome. However, if you stop typing for even a second, it will bring you back to whatever you have it set as, with no way to turn it off :( this app is so awsome, but it's just that that beings it down so much for me :(

I have a suggestion about entering encrypted passwords. The "show password checkbox" is available when opening the encrypted note. However, on editing the encrypted note, the password is requested after the edit. Unfortunately, the "show password checkbox" is NOT AVAILABLE. With these tiny finger keyboards, mistakes are possible. Making mistakes brings up another question. How many tries are allowed on password entry mistakes? It seems I was locked out once. Was that because I exceeded retrys?

Very good app take time to learn. Secure Storage of encrypted notes. With the label feature you can create different categories of notes. What would make this a five star app is the ability encrypt/decrypt multiple files at the same time. The pro version of let you encrypt/decrypt all notes. When reading an decrypting a note it will encrypt immediately if you switch screen, if access multiple times need to enter the password over. Needs option keep decrypted in read-only mode.

Very much like Google Keep, but more private and a bit easier to use. I have a lot of notes, so it takes a good app to get me to switch... and I've chosen this one. Some possible improvements would be to stop the double titles when sharing a note from another service, and being able to pin notes/labels to the top inside the app.

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!

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.

It's a good Encryption Note pad, a little redundant but not bad. I do have a question, are the going to be any more updates, or is this going to fade into non usability at some point. I am getting scroll glitches. Every time I start using the keyboard, it scrolls to the bottom and continues to do so until the keyboard is inactive. I have a lot of passwords, and having to scroll back up every 5 seconds is getting annoying.
