Notepad is a lightweight and efficient note taking app designed for quick creation and management of notes, memos, and any plain text documents. Its intuitive interface allows users to easily write, edit, and organize their text files without limitations on note length or quantity (aside from device storage).

Key features include importing and exporting notes as TXT files, sharing notes through other apps, and a convenient notes widget that acts as sticky memos on your home screen. The app supports automatic saving, undo/redo edits, customizable color themes including a dark mode, and advanced security with app password and biometric unlocking. Notes can be categorized, searched quickly, and backed up with a simple zip file export/import function. Ideal for to-do lists, planners, shopping lists, and quick reminders, Notepad enhances productivity with versatile note management capabilities.

Additionally, the app offers reliable technical support and emphasizes backing up notes to avoid data loss when switching devices. Notepad does not support installation on SD cards to ensure widget functionality. For any inquiries, users are encouraged to contact the developer directly via email.

Very simple to use. This is what I've been looking for. Nice and simple, even a 5 year old could use this with ease. Also, can you make it so, if we want to, we can click and drag note tabs to be in a specific spot on the screen, instead of the auto filtering options? So now, I can have my notes about birthdays, ages, peoples names all in one area, and have all my notes for my favorite games in another spot.

I've been using this app for over 3 years. I can make & save shopping lists, Christmas lists, recipes, to-do lists, etc. I love this app!! I'm not a computer savvy person but it's easy enough for even someone like me to figure out how to share any one of my pages with family and friends. The Good Lord Willing, I plan on using this app forever!!! :) :) :)
