# NotallyX

> Minimal open-source Android app for notes and task lists

NotallyX is a free, open-source note-taking app for Android, built as an extended version of the Notally app. It covers rich text notes and task lists with subtasks, along with reminders, file attachments, audio notes, labels, colors and home-screen widgets. Notes are stored only on the device and the app has no sync of its own, though backups can be written automatically to a folder you choose.

## Key features

- **Rich text notes:** Text notes support bold, italic, monospace and strikethrough formatting, clickable links for web addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, and undo and redo.
- **Task lists with subtasks:** List notes have checkboxes and subtasks. Checked items are sorted to the bottom automatically, which can be switched off in the settings.
- **Reminders:** A note can carry a reminder for a chosen date and time, optionally repeating at a set interval, and raises a notification when it comes due.
- **Attachments and audio notes:** Pictures, PDFs and other files can be added to a note, and quick audio recordings can be made inside the app.
- **Labels, colors and pinning:** Notes can be labeled, colored and pinned to the top, sorted by title, creation date or last modified date, and shown as a list or a grid.
- **App lock and automatic backups:** The app can be locked with the device's biometric or PIN. Backups go to a chosen folder on exit from a note or periodically, and can be password-protected.

## Good for

- Android users who want a simple notes app with no ads or account
- Checklists with subtasks and reminders
- People moving notes over from Google Keep, Evernote or Quillpad

## Worth knowing

- Android only, for devices running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and above.
- The README says the developer temporarily removed the app from Google Play after several users reported losing notes, and urges daily automatic backups.
- There is no built-in sync. The docs suggest pointing the backup folder at cloud or WebDAV storage mounted by a third-party app.
- Uninstalling the app deletes its notes unless a backup has been made first.
