Literal Memo is a minimalist file-based Markdown note-taking app inspired by howm.

Notes are stored as plain .md files, not in a database. Sync them to any GitHub repository for backup and cross-device access.

Features:

File-Based: Notes are portable .md files. No lock-in.
Markdown Preview: Write in Markdown, preview with formatting.
GitHub Sync: Sync to a GitHub repository. Edit from PC or any device.
Customization: Change colors, font, and size.
Trash Management: Restore or permanently delete anytime.

GitHub Sync stores active memos in pile/filename.md and trashed memos as trash/.filename.md. You can add or edit files directly on GitHub.

Literal Memo is for people who want a simple, distraction-free note-taking app with plain text files and Git-friendly sync.

Anti-Features:

NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ The app uses Github.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).

18 Libraries detected:

Libraries:

Android Support v4 (Development Framework)
The Android Support Library is not actually a single library, but rather a collection of libraries that can roughly be divided into two groups: compatibility and component libraries. For details, please see Understanding the Android Support Library.
Jetpack Compose (Development Framework)
a framework to define UIs programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.
Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
DataStore (Development Aid)
stores data asynchronously, consistently, and transactionally, overcoming some of the drawbacks of SharedPreferences.
Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)
core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.
AndroidX Fragment (UI Component)
AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.
Androidx Graphics (Utility)
leverages graphics facilities across multiple Android platform releases.
Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
Loader (Utility)
library to load data for your UI that survives configuration changes.
Navigation (Utility)
a framework for navigating between 'destinations' within an Android application that provides a consistent API whether destinations are implemented as Fragments, Activities, or other components.
ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
Startup (Utility)
AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.
Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
Tink (Utility)
a multi-language, cross-platform library that provides cryptographic APIs that are secure, easy to use correctly, and hard(er) to misuse.
Dagger (Utility)
A fast dependency injector for Android and Java.
Markwon (Utility)
Markdown library.
JavaX Dependency Injection (Utility)
specifies a means for obtaining objects in such a way as to maximize reusability, testability and maintainability compared to traditional approaches such as constructors, factories, and service locators (e.g., JNDI). This process, known as dependency injection, is beneficial to most nontrivial applications.
kotlinx.coroutines (Utility)
library support for Kotlin coroutines.

Payment Modules:
