Secure notepad with a PIN lock: notes & tasks. No account, no internet, no ads.
Encly is an encrypted notes app for private notes and tasks that never leave your phone. Offline notes with a PIN lock: no account, no cloud, no ads, and no internet permission at all.
Most note apps want an account and a server. Encly has neither. Your encrypted notes live in one place: your phone.
Use it as a password-protected notepad, a private diary or journal, or a safe place to hide notes from anyone who picks up your phone.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads, no in-app purchases.
• Truly offline: Encly does not request the INTERNET permission, so it cannot send your notes anywhere.
• Encrypted notes at rest: a SQLCipher (AES-256) database under a random 256-bit key.
• PIN lock: a 6-digit PIN tied to your phone's secure hardware, plus optional fingerprint or face unlock (strong biometrics only).
• Locks itself: after you leave (15 seconds by default, or immediately) or the moment the screen turns off, the database is closed and the key is wiped from memory.
• Screenshots, screen recording and recent-apps previews are blocked. Android cloud backup is off.
RECOVERY PHRASE AND ENCRYPTED BACKUPS
• Optional 12-word recovery phrase: forgot your PIN? The phrase unlocks your vault and lets you set a new one.
• Export all notes, tasks and tags to one encrypted file (AES-256-GCM) and save it wherever you choose: a folder, a USB stick, your own cloud drive. Encly never uploads it.
• Restore on a new phone with the same 12 words, or merge a backup into an existing vault.
• Nobody can recover your notes for you, not even the developer. Keep the words on paper.
A SECURE NOTEPAD THAT IS PLEASANT TO WRITE IN
• Block editor: text, headings, quotes, checklists, bulleted and numbered lists, links and separators.
• Tags, search, list or grid view, several sort orders.
• Tasks with priorities, right next to your notes.
• Trash with restore.
• Five themes (Paper, Forest, Ocean, Graphite, Midnight), light, dark or system mode, dynamic color on Android 12+, and three font sets bundled in the app.
OPEN SOURCE
• Encly is open source (Apache-2.0): anyone can check what it does.
• Works without Google Play Services. Android 8.0 or newer.
• 9 languages: English, Ukrainian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Dutch. Pick one for Encly alone in Settings → Language.
Encly: encrypted notes that stay yours.

Hello Encly Team, However, I've noticed one limitation on Android: the entire notebook text cannot be selected and copied at once, even in Edit Mode. Could you please consider adding the following feature in an upcoming update? Copy Entire Note: Add an option that allows users to copy the complete text of a single note in one action, without having to select and copy multiple sections manually. This would make handling long notes and research documents much easier. Thank you for developing.
Please add an option to automatically back up notes as encrypted files. Whenever I create or update a note, it should be saved as an encrypted backup file automatically, without requiring me to export it manually.
