About this app

Dark note is totally free. There are no features behind a paywall.

Dark note is also ad-free so you can enjoy note-taking without getting annoyed by bombardments of weird and dumb ads. If you want to support Dark Note, buy me some coffee by going to the settings page and clicking on the cool-looking coffee cup.

Dark note makes it easy to add notes and checklists. Its design is very easy on the eyes and is also easy to use.

Taking a Note
The only limit for the note length is the capacity of your device storage. Once a note is created, any edits will be saved letter by letter. Notes can be archived, shared, locked, exported, and much more.

Making a Checklist
You can add as many items as you want. List items can be easily edited or deleted by clicking on the edit icon. Each item can be checked off with a simple click in which that item is striked-through and once all items have been checked off, the title will also be striked-through marking completion.

Features
- Quick and easy to create notes and checklists.

Great app! Nice and smooth and love the color customizations. Also like the locally stored data--No cloud nonsense. Any chance of adding an "add table" feature? I'm actually able to copy a table from a website and paste it into a note and edit the data which is great, but have to find the right table dimensions and color I want...but it works.

Upon opening a new note for the first time using the app, I quickly discovered access to my clipboard was irreversibly disengaged, which is totally absurd considering the value of its functionality. I still gave three stars because, apart from that, the app is well designed. Nevertheless, I don't hang out anywhere I can't bring my clipboard. Cheers.

Had to leave a review before I join beta. This app is amazing & simple I plan to use this app abundantly, replacing both Google keep & tasks. This note/ lists app is the perfect combo of both - plus more, yet not to overly complicated like some big "teams" type apps. Those have there place, but Dark Note is perfect for everyday life, especially with the help of the simple budgeting feature. Feature idea, (that I know would probably cost you money unless end user setup,) collab feature and iOS.?

Glad you like the app. I am working on Dark Note v2 which will include iOS support. Collab feature is not in my feature-list at the moment since I want to get the app stable first and polished. If you want to keep track on my progress, join the reddit page (by going to Dark Note settings) and keep an eye out. I will have an update in 1-2 months.
