About this app

FairNote is a simple and intuitive notepad app, giving you speed and efficiency while writing notes, making to-do lists, or jotting down quick ideas. You can organize notes using labels/tags and different colors, use reminders to keep better track of your tasks, protect sensitive data using industry-standard encryption, and best of all, if your device supports biometric authentication, you can conveniently use that to encrypt and decrypt notes without having to enter your encryption password every time.

Features:
• Create text and checklist notes
• Assign labels and colors to notes
• Protect notes with AES-256 encryption. Encrypted notes remain encrypted in the filesystem and backups. When both title and content exist, only the content is encrypted; the title stays in plaintext
• Encrypt and decrypt notes individually or in batches
• Back up and restore notes using Google Drive, Dropbox, Yandex Disk, WebDAV, or device storage
• Add new notes directly from the notification area
• Pin frequently used notes to the status bar for quick access from the notification area
• Set reminders for notes, including pinned ones
• Organize notes in list or grid view
• Perform powerful text searches, with full and partial matches highlighted
• Sort notes by date, color, or alphabetically
• Filter notes by labels
• Receive shared texts from other apps
• Use sticky note and note list widgets with transparency configuration
• Perform batch operations on notes
• Add home screen shortcuts to specific notes
• Preview Markdown content
• Import text files (individually or in batches)
• Export notes to text files (individually or in batches)
• Undo and redo text edits
• Choose between automatic or manual save preferences
• Search and replace text within notes
• Archive notes
• Access translations in Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish


Pro benefits:
• Recurring reminders
• Encrypt and decrypt all notes with a single click
• Encrypt and decrypt notes using fingerprints (Android 6.0+) and other biometrics (Android 10+)
• Access upcoming pro features
• Support ongoing development

Please remember your encryption password, even if you use biometric authentication. Forgetting it may result in losing access to your encrypted notes.

Pretty basic, but reliable, and supports encryption. The basic is a nice feature in our age of data harvesting. Re: other reviews that mention note reencrypts as soon as you put another app in the foreground - at least on my version of android, you can still see the encrypted note's content in the app preview, allowing you to avoid having to decrypt multiple times in cases where you need to refer back to the encrypted note while using another app.

I don't normally comment on stuff like this, but the new update has been pissing me off. There's now an option for "beginning, middle, and end." In settings that will bring you to the top, bottom, or middle of a note. Which could be very, very awesome. However, if you stop typing for even a second, it will bring you back to whatever you have it set as, with no way to turn it off :( this app is so awsome, but it's just that that beings it down so much for me :(

I have a suggestion about entering encrypted passwords. The "show password checkbox" is available when opening the encrypted note. However, on editing the encrypted note, the password is requested after the edit. Unfortunately, the "show password checkbox" is NOT AVAILABLE. With these tiny finger keyboards, mistakes are possible. Making mistakes brings up another question. How many tries are allowed on password entry mistakes? It seems I was locked out once. Was that because I exceeded retrys?
