Jotter is a minimal, privacy-friendly notes app built with Kotlin and Jetpack. It lets you quickly create, edit, and organize notes without ads, tracking, or unnecessary clutter. All data is stored locally on your device and the full source code is available on GitHub.

WhatsNew:

- Added date and time format options
- Apply GPL-3.0 license and headers
- Small code cleanup

Download Source Issues ChangeLog

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).

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.
