An offline-first notes app for Android
SyncNote keeps your notes on your device, so you can write, edit, search, and organize with no internet connection. The cloud is optional — the app works fully offline by design.
Local-first, not cloud-first
Your notes are stored locally on your Android device in a fast on-device database. That means they open instantly, they're available on a plane or in a dead zone, and they don't depend on any server to work.
What works without internet
Create and edit notes
Write, format, and organize into folders and tags entirely offline.
Search everything
Full-text search runs on-device, so it works with no connection.
Pin and manage
Pin important notes, archive old ones, and keep things tidy — all offline.
Sync and backup when you want them
Being offline-first doesn't mean you're stuck on one device. When you're online you can pair devices to sync notes between your phone and computer, and you can turn on optional encrypted cloud backup so notes can be restored on a new device. Both are opt-in.
Private by default
No account is required, there are no ads, and there is no tracking. Notes never leave your device unless you enable sync or backup. For sensitive notes, use the on-device private vault.
Frequently asked questions
Does SyncNote work with no internet?
Yes. Creating, editing, organizing, and searching notes all work fully offline because notes are stored locally.
Where are my notes stored?
In a local database on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you turn on sync or backup.
Do I need an account?
No account is required. A Google sign-in is only needed for optional encrypted backup.
Is there a web version too?
Yes — SyncNote runs in any modern browser, and you can pair it with your Android phone.
