Noteka
Read full descriptionHide full description
Noteka is a notepad that never goes online. Your notes live in one file on your phone and nowhere else. No account, no sign-in, no sync, no server, no analytics. Turn on airplane mode and everything works exactly the same. LOCK IT Set a PIN, or use your fingerprint or face. The PIN itself is never stored — only a salted hash of it, and that never leaves your device. Decide whether Noteka locks the moment you put it down, or a few minutes later. NOTES AND CHECKLISTS Write freely, or tick things off. Both are the same kind of note, so a shopping list turns into a paragraph and back with one tap. Press and drag a card to reorder it, in list or grid view, and drag items inside a checklist. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY ARRIVE Pick a date and time. Repeat once, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. They fire on the minute you chose, with no internet, and they survive a restart. TIMER Quick presets, or set hours, minutes and seconds exactly. The alert reaches you even with the app closed. KEEP IT TIDY Folders, pinned notes, seven card colours, an archive, search, and four ways to sort — including an order you drag into place yourself. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Türkçe, Español, Português, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Русский, العربية, हिन्दी, Bahasa Indonesia, 日本語, 한국어, 中文 and Nederlands. Noteka opens in your phone's language on its own. NOTEKA PRO — ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION The free version holds up to 30 notes, 3 reminders and 3 folders. Pro lifts every limit and adds backup and restore: one file with everything in it, saved wherever you choose. Because Noteka never uploads anything, that file is the only copy of your notes outside this phone. Notes you have already written stay readable and editable forever, with or without Pro. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Nothing leaves your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Noteka at 15.0 against Howbout's 17.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
