Notbuk : To-do & Notes Notbuk is a tiny notebook for your phone. Two pages Notes and Tasks and two ways to fill them: type or hold the mic and just talk. Say it and it's on paper Press and hold the microphone, speak your thought and let go. Notbuk turns it into a clean note or a clear task depending on which page you're on. No typing required. Everything is transcribed on your device nothing is sent to the cloud to be understood. A notebook, not a productivity suite No folders. No tags. No projects. No dashboards. Just a warm paper page a handwritten font and the two things most people actually want from a notes app: write something down, and know what needs doing. Tasks, with real reminders Set an optional reminder on any task and Notbuk will nudge you at the right time nothing to configure no separate reminders app to open. It feels like paper, because it should Subtle grain, faint ruling, a hand-drawn checkbox that gets a satisfying ink strikethrough when you check something off. Pick your handwriting style Notebook, Casual, Print, or Marker and the whole app follows. Yours, on your device Notes and tasks live in local storage on your phone. No account, no sign-in, no sync required to use the app. What's next Notbuk is intentionally small. If there's something you want added tell us right in the app under Settings → Feature Requests.
