Notes are not actually backed up as Google Doc (as they are in Notes: Keep Sticky Thoughts in Google Drive). Instead they look like this (see below) which I guess is decoded when restoring the note; however, to have the actual note saved as a Google Doc would make this app useful. <ul style="margin-top: 0.1em; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; position: relative; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 1.5em; padding-top: 2px;">Music &amp; window open<br></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; position: relative; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 1.5em; padding-top: 2px;">Keep <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">tension</span>&nbsp;on the muscle<br></li></ul><div><p style="box-sizing: border-
