A look at NotallyX. It remains as a headnotes application on our mobile
If you already know the Open Source application which is called very similar to this one, In particular, the one that we are going to present to you will not be very new: it is the extended version, with more featuresand which is also updated to this day, fixing errors and adding more features.
It's called NotallyX and is developed by PhilKes. In its latest version, 6.3.0, it has been dressed according to the Material You guidelines, hence its similarities with Google Keep. Essentially we have a central panel where we can see all of our notes.
To create one, NotallyX presents two floating buttons at the bottom right of the screen: one to create a simple note and another to create a new task. There is no difference beyond the fact that this second allows content to be written in checkable boxes.
When accessing or creating a note, it allows you to add these elements, in addition to the text:
- Note the colors: This is ideal for quickly identifying notes. Choose from 12 preset colors.
- Tags: By creating tags, we can classify and order our notes.
- Together: Pin option, so that the marked note appears at the top of the list or grid.
- Add images, files or audio: The application allows you to attach all types of files to your notes, whether images (which will be seen at the top as the cover), sounds or even PDFs.
In the editing menu it is also possible to go back in case you made a mistake while writing, there is also a “Redo” button. As if that were not enough, very useful for long notes we have a search function. As you have seen, it is quite complete in features, and everything is done offlinewithout the need for Internet.
Are you changing your phone and want to transfer all your notes? It allows you to export them into a small file that you can save to any cloud service or locally. On the other hand, if you wish, no one will be able to see your notes: NotallyX makes it very easy to hide them behind our fingerprint.
To download it you need to download the APK file from its official repository on GitHub, or if you prefer via the F-Droid store. Tap here to download the most recent version at the time of writing this article. Remember to activate the “Unknown sources” option on your Android mobile, in order to install the application.
