Notly

Notly is designed for people who want a simple, dependable place to write. It removes the noise found in most note‑taking apps and focuses on the essentials: clean writing, easy organization, and complete privacy. Everything you create stays on your device, giving you full control over your notes without accounts, syncing, or background services. It’s a quiet, reliable tool that works the moment you open it.

Notly supports both rich text and Markdown, so you can write in the style that feels most natural. You can create your own categories, rename them, and arrange your notes in a way that matches how you think. Important notes can be pinned, and you can switch between grid and list layouts depending on what feels more comfortable. Sorting options let you view notes by name, creation date, or last edited, and the built‑in search helps you find anything instantly.

Keeping your workspace tidy is simple. Notes you don’t need right now can be archived, and anything you delete goes to the trash where it can be restored later. Pinned notes always stay at the top, making it easy to keep track of what matters most.

Privacy is at the core of Notly. You can lock individual notes with fingerprint or face unlock, and Secure Screen prevents screenshots of sensitive information. Because the app works entirely offline, your writing never leaves your device. There are no servers, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind.

Notly also gives you room to personalize your experience. You can choose between light, dark, and OLED‑friendly True Dark themes. On Android 12 and above, the app adapts to your wallpaper using Material You colors. You can decide whether notes open in view or edit mode, adjust date and time formats, and enable haptic feedback for a more tactile feel.

Backing up your notes is straightforward. You can export everything into a single JSON file and restore it whenever you need to. There are no accounts to manage and no cloud setup required — just simple, local backups you control.

Notly is built to be fast, private, and dependable. It’s a clean writing space that stays out of your way and gives you the freedom to organize your thoughts however you like.
