Material Notes

Your Thoughts, Locked Away Where They Belong

• Material Notes is a distraction-free sanctuary for your ideas, built on the clean, refined principles of Material Design.

• Because we believe your business is none of the internet’s business, this app has zero network permissions.

• Your notes live solely on your device, meaning even if the machines rise up, they won’t be reading your grocery list.

Capture Your Genius

• Jot down quick thoughts or detailed manifestos using plain text, rich text, Markdown, or checklists.

• Use the home screen quick-action shortcut to capture fleeting brilliance before it vanishes.

Organization for the Methodically Minded

• Reign in the chaos: search, sort, pin, or archive your notes to keep your workspace tidy.

• View your collection in a sleek list or a classic grid.

• Made a mistake? Our digital bin lets you resurrect accidentally deleted notes.

Classification and Tags

• Sort your life into color-coded tags for easy identification.

• Pin essential tags to the top or hide the ones you aren't ready to face yet.

Share, Backup, and Bolt the Door

• Import snippets from other apps or export your wisdom as Markdown and JSON files.

• Keep your secrets safe by locking the entire app, specific notes, or all notes tagged with a certain label.

• Paranoid about data? You can even encrypt your JSON backups for extra peace of mind.

Tailored to Your Vibe

• Choose your preferred language and flip between light, dark, or true black themes.

• Enable dynamic theming to have your interface colors mimic your current wallpaper.

• Deactivate note types you never use to keep your interface lean and mean.

FAQ

Q: How does the app handle my data privacy if it lives locally?

A: Because your notes live solely on your device, you are the only person with access to them. We believe your personal business should stay private, so we have architected the app to function as a self-contained sanctuary that does not interact with the outside internet.

Q: What kinds of formatting options are available for my notes?

A: You have great flexibility in how you capture your ideas. Material Notes supports plain text for simple reminders, rich text and Markdown for structured documents, and interactive checklists to help you manage your daily tasks.

Q: Can I quickly add a note without opening the app first?

A: Absolutely. We offer a home screen quick-action shortcut that allows you to trigger a new note instantly, ensuring you can capture your ideas the moment inspiration strikes without having to navigate through menus.
