Using a smartphone to write any idea is not only common, but also a good recommendation. Knowing how much inspiration is not expected, and since we have a cell phone almost always on the surface, why not avoid the risk of symptom loss write down all the important things that help the mind? This, of course, is nothing like a good use of notes, especially when removing all the unnecessary ones shows us to focus on what matters most.
Google Store maintains that approach, of extreme minimalism. Write a new note with a single touch, quick annotations, simple style and design. Yes, a new app is available in the Play Store to fulfill the wishes of those who want it without Google's suggestion: Steno. It has early access, but you can download it without any problem.
Perfect for taking notes, and nothing else
Minimalism is not only unique to the style of the app, but also to its functionality: Steno is a sad reaper in the amount of features it offers. In fact, it has a timeline with all the notes and buttons to add new text and look for a note in the middle of their written set. Otherwise, the application is no longer active. Or less.
Steno is a simple and easy-to-use application to focus on writing. It has no placements, photos and any other not-so-simple and clean option. At least for now: the app is in development, so it wouldn't be hard to get rid of the annotations for image items, always maintaining its highest quality.
Stoo offers dark mode and light mode that adapter depending on what is selected in the system settings, has the undo button to return notes if they were accidentally deleted (to just remove them), notes to be shared (balloon icon) and it works without a connection. If you lose some protection when you leave without saving (the created note is deleted) or you have the option of syncing notes, details will be voted on as development progresses.
The Steno note app is free and ad-free, at least for now. It's a great recommendation if you need a note-taking app: weighs less than 7 MB when installed on a smartphone.
