About

Mowyns Note

Features
Read full description

I wanted a simple, useful notebook that was completely free. After a long search, I still hadn't found one that suited me, so I made Mowyns Note. I use it for my own everyday notes. I wanted to open my notebook and see today. The calendar shows one day's entries at a time, so yesterday's notes stay with yesterday. Earlier entries are still there whenever you want them: choose a date or browse the timeline. A new day has room for new things. Take a photo of lunch and add a few words. Jot down something you would like to do. Words, photos and recordings can live together in the same note. Before a trip, save train details, seat numbers, ticket screenshots and places to visit under the relevant dates. Open that day when it arrives and your plans are there. A few days of notes become a simple itinerary. At the top of the daily list, pull down once to reveal the calendar, then pull down again to open quick search. With the calendar collapsed, swipe the date heading left or right to move to the next or previous day. Choose a theme color and a light or dark appearance. Adjust the text size and line spacing to suit you. Each recording has its own card with playback, pause and seeking. On supported devices and in supported languages, on-device recognition can turn the audio into text, which stays inside the card. Search, favorites, tags, folders, checklists and tables are available when you want to organize. Mowyns Note is completely free, with no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases. Open it and start writing. No login or internet connection is needed. Notes and attachments stay on your device; the developer does not collect your notes or usage data. This version uses local storage only, with no iCloud or automatic cross-device sync. Export plain or encrypted backups and transfer them yourself. Keep your backup files and passwords safe. Camera, microphone and speech-recognition permissions are used only for the related features. You can write text notes without granting them. Transcription uses on-device recognition; recording remains available when transcription is unsupported. Device backups, file providers, sharing and links you choose to open are handled by the system or your chosen app.
