Description

Safe Notes is a privacy-focused note manager which provides an inbuild encrypted storage. It imploys rigorously tested AES-256 encryption standard to store user notes. All the notes are stored locally on the user’s device. Contrary to the ongoing frenzy of “move everything to cloud” we believe in “localization of user data” giving you the control of your data and not some third-party cloud service provider. We know you gotta change your device once in a while that’s why Safe Notes also provides a secure migration facility, which allows you to export and import your notes without having to compromise the sanctity of your data. Word of advice, keep your passphrase long and secret. May encryption protect us all!

Installation and updates

You can install Safe Notes using one of the following methods:

Download Safe Notes from the Google Play store using this link.
Download Safe Notes from the F-Droid using this link.
Download the APK from Github Releases and install it.
Build a debug APK yourself. This is the fastest way to get new features on your device, but is much more complicated, so we recommend using one of the other methods.

We recommend method 1 or 2 for most users. Building a debug APK using method 4 excludes a key entirely. Signing keys help ensure that a user isn’t tricked into installing a malicious update to an app.
