Merkzettel

Note taking, simple and on your own device — without ads, popups.
No spam, no spyware, no data collection. For real.

Merkzettel keeps every note on your phone and gives each one the right format: plain notes, checklists, recipes, expenses, and flashcards.

✨ FIVE KINDS OF NOTES

📝 Rich text — headings, bold and italic, bullet and numbered lists; a clean, distraction-free editor
✅ Checklists — checkboxes, drag-and-drop reordering, and visual progress tracking
🍳 Recipes — ingredients and steps with serving scaling, plus a tidy PDF you can share or print
💶 Expenses — a running total, an optional budget, and your own currency
🧠 Flashcards — question-and-answer decks with a full-screen flip study mode

🏷️ SMART ORGANIZATION

1. Colour-coded tags to categorize your notes
2. Pin important notes to keep them at the top
3. Drag and drop to reorder notes exactly how you want

🔍 FIND, FILTER & REMIND

1. Instant search across titles and content
