Appearance

Theme

Text size 100%

Two themes. Zero noise.

Light Mode and Dark Mode — a premium-minimal monochrome design where your words are the only color that matters.

Features

One app. Every kind of note.

Purpose-built pages instead of a thousand blank documents — and every one of them works with the internet off.

A real editor, not a text box

Rich text & Markdown: bold, italic, highlights, headings, colors, alignment, checklists, tables, code blocks, callouts — plus a distraction-free focus mode.

A vault that never leaves home

Per-note password encryption and a dedicated password vault, unlocked by master password or fingerprint. Hide-from-recents blanks the app switcher.

⊞

Tables that do math

Inline spreadsheet-style tables with live column auto-sum.

☑

Checklists with momentum

Live progress bars — “2 / 6 completed” keeps you moving.

◷

Purpose-built pages

Timeline, Shopping, LinkList, Snippets, Counters, Habit grids, Calculator, Names, tabbed Notebooks.

‹›

Code editor built in

Monospace, line numbers — opens text & code files directly.

🎙

Voice, photos & files

Record voice notes, attach photos and documents to anything.

⏰

Reminders that stick

Note reminders survive a reboot. Quiet, reliable, offline.

📍

Map Journal

Pin places, navigate back with the offline compass & radar view. Foreground-only location.

[[ ]]

Wiki-links & backlinks

Connect notes with [[links]] — backlinks appear automatically.

🎨

Light & Dark themes

Premium-minimal monochrome design — two focused themes, zero visual noise.

📦

Export everything

TXT, Markdown, HTML, PDF — plus a one-ZIP full backup you own.

▦

Home-screen widgets

Nine widgets — notes list, today’s plan, quick actions, one-tap new note, checklist & more.

🌐

Speaks your language

Fully translated into 48 languages, with an in-app language picker and RTL support.

How it works

Private by default, from the first second.

  1. 1

    Install & open

    No sign-up wall, no permission circus. You’re writing within seconds of tapping the icon — even in airplane mode.

  2. 2

    Capture anything

    Notes, checklists, tables, voice, photos, code, places. Lock the sensitive stuff in the AES-encrypted vault.

  3. 3

    Own it forever

    Export any note as TXT, Markdown, HTML or PDF — or back up everything to a single ZIP and restore it on any phone.

Why it’s different

NoteDraft vs. cloud note apps

Most note apps are a login to someone else’s computer. NoteDraft is a notebook that happens to be software.

FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is NoteDraft really 100% offline?›

Yes. There is no account, no sync server and no cloud — your notes live only on your device and work in airplane mode. The app touches the internet only for optional things: in-app purchases, YouTube embeds you add yourself, and downloading images you paste from the web.

Do I need an account?›

No. There is no sign-up, no login, no email. Open the app and start writing — that’s the whole onboarding.

Is it free? Are there ads?›

NoteDraft is free and shows no ads. The free tier covers everyday use; a one-time Premium purchase unlocks unlimited notes, checklists, workflows and templates — no subscription, ever. You can also leave a tip if you want to support development.

How is my data protected?›

Everything stays on your device. Locked notes and the password vault use AES-GCM encryption behind a master password and biometric unlock. Hide-from-recents blanks the app-switcher preview. Your data is excluded from cloud backup by default.

Can I move to a new phone?›

Yes — export a full backup (notes, photos, files) as one ZIP, move it however you like, and restore on the new phone. No account needed, no lock-in.

What can I export?›

Notes export as TXT, Markdown, HTML or PDF. Text and Markdown import straight back in, and the code editor opens files from your file manager.

Which languages does NoteDraft speak?›

NoteDraft is fully translated into 48 languages — including Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and more — with right-to-left layout support and an in-app language picker that works on any Android version.

Does it track my location?›

No background tracking, ever. Location is used only in the foreground, only when you pin a place in Map Journal — that’s it.

Which Android versions are supported?›

Android 7.0 (API 24) and newer — which covers virtually every phone from the last eight years.
