## Description

Your notes, encrypted on your device. Sync through your own Nextcloud — no account, no tracking. Try all Pro features free for 7 days.

Secret Notes is the private notepad for everything that’s nobody else’s business: thoughts, lists, plans, recordings. No account, no tracking, no ads — your notes stay on your device, encrypted and behind PIN or Face ID.

PRIVACY FIRST
• App lock with PIN or Face ID, auto-locking after a timeout you choose
• Note contents are stored encrypted on your device (AES-256)
• Lock individual notes — content only shows after re-authenticating
• No account required, no data collection, no ads

SEVEN NOTE TYPES
• Text with formatting (bold, italic, colors) and [[links]] between notes
• Checklists with sub-items and smart auto-checking
• Spreadsheets, Markdown, audio and video notes, tally counters

ORGANIZE & FIND
• Categories, nested folders, colors, pinning, ratings
• Search and filters, custom sort by drag & drop
• Reminders — including recurring — with an overview screen
• “At a Glance” home screen, archive, and trash with auto-cleanup
• Templates for recurring notes

BACK UP & SYNC
• Encrypted backups, portable between devices
• Cloud backup and multi-device sync via your own server (Nextcloud/WebDAV) — your data lives only where you decide
• Direct device-to-device transfer on your local network

EVERYDAY EXTRAS
• Widgets: quick add and recently edited notes
• Share sheet: save text, links, images and files from other apps
• Read notes aloud
• Fully localized in English and German
