## Description

LitesApp Text Editor is a fast, lightweight, privacy-first text and code editor for Android. Open, write, and edit plain-text files (TXT) and developer formats like JSON, XML, SQL, PHP, JavaScript, and YAML in a clean, distraction-free Material 3 interface. Features include quick launch, smooth typing, custom fonts and typography, light and dark themes, undo/redo, and seamless “Open with” support from file managers, email, chat apps, and cloud drives.

Private by design: documents stay on your device — no account or automatic cloud uploads. Ads are optional and consent-driven; crash diagnostics and aggregate analytics exclude document contents. The app is free with an in-app purchase to remove ads, supports Hindi localization, and provides built-in feedback for bug reports or feature requests. Permissions are limited to storage and network for optional services. Contact support at contact@litesapp.com.
