Very nice notes app.

Perhaps you can add an option to reduce the height of the widget header (notes symbol, plus symbol, cam symbol). Possibly you can do that with a 3-dots-menu which can be enabled in the settings and which shows the 3 icons after tapping on the 3-dot-menu.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
The widget header height mimics the app toolbar to keep consistency and uses the default (lollipop) height for that that specific element.

Many improvements could be done to the home launcher widget but there are currently more urgent developments so I'll deal with these in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] FoCMB:
OK. Thanks for your fast reply and for your nice work. It is not so important and I will wait for your future work
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Currently I am using version 4.7.2, downloaded it from Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
The new version 5 is coming so no further developments will be done on the 4.x releases.

It'll be out in a few!
[Android Apps and Games] happaro:
Really easy...
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
A new version in the Beta channel has been uploaded.

My apologies to the ones that installed the previous 5.0.0 Beta 7 and had ran in a lot of issues, now they should be fixed!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Interesting application. Is this on F-Droid? Can you encrypt notes? (I prefer GPG.)
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
Locked notes are encrypted.

But it's not on F-Droid (yet)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Cool. The only way to join the Beta test is through G+?
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
If you want the latest, then yes
[Android Apps and Games] :
Very nice application. Do you have a Dark or AMOLED theme for the application? White text on a pitch black screen?
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
I think that's for pro version which will be out soon
[Android Apps and Games] :
Cool. Very impressed. Love open source applications. I only have 2 complaints the AMOLED theme and the lack of being published on F-Droid.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Argh I stopped receiving notifications, sorry for missing answers by me and thank you so much [MENTION=5444464]PunchUp[/MENTION] for the help!

Well, nothing to add to what you said...

The only thing is that publishing this app on F-Droid will require some code refactoring and some work with Gradle to build a specific version without closed source libraries (I'm using something from Google and that is a blocking problem).

Unfortunately I really have few time to code (I should say that I have few free time in general) so this issue has been classified with low priority.
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
No problem. Happy to help. And I hope you eventually manage to publish it on F-Droid as well
[Android Apps and Games] Slayerrider:
I like your application. But id would be nice to have a little bit more spen features. Maybe this is possible? For example to draw in a picture.

And F-Droid publishing would be also nice.
[Android Apps and Games] tiniwings:
Hi, I am using ON Version 5.0.0 Beta 24 and found an issue with "tags".

I am unable to add any tag to the notes, when I clicked the tag icon its showing "NO TAGS HAVE BEEN CREATED YET" message and I am not able to find any option to create the tags in application.

It will be helpful if we can create the tags on the fly while creating the notes itself and the existing tags can be shown there with a check-box to reuse them.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
I think you've found a way to use tags at this point.

If you didn't simply give a look to the help online section inside settings
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
I'm in a state where I could actually prepare a build to be complied by the guys at F-Droid.

The problem is that to be more integrated with Google ecosystem I'll have sooner or later to reintroduce it's closed source libraries and in that case ON will be no more FOSS.
[Android Apps and Games] Slayerrider:
I know apps, which have to versions, a Playstore-version (uses play-services) and a foss-version for F-Droid. But I dont know if this will be a possible solution for you or if it would be only more work.
[Android Apps and Games] gabriele.picco:
Nice Work !!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Due to the fact that I'm working on cloud-oriented features, starting from Google Drive, I'm already at the point where development roadmaps could fork...
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
I would like to see two enhancements in the very good state of this app

1. it would be nice if shown reminders would survive a reboot or could be added again after it

2. sometimes I have tasks with week or month old reminders where I have to scroll and "search" for the current date to set a reminder again for tomorrow. If renewing an old reminder could start at the current date, this would be awesome :)
[Android Apps and Games] BootloopedMillennials:
First thank you for the app.

One issue I'm struggling to solve is every time I create a note GPS is turned on. This is killing my battery. Have the option to automatically add location to notes OFF. Don't see any other options to toggle.

Moto X 2014

Android 5.1

Location set to High Accuracy (I use Google Now) and Location History OFF
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Currently position listening starts as soon as you enter into the note editor.

This is done to speedup the location retrieval without the user has to wait for the location provider's fix delay.

Due to the fact that automatic/current locations need not to be so much accurate I'm trying to change this behavior to a less precise but even less invasive: geolocation process will starts only on user's request (or if you enable "auto location" from settings).
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
Is there any way to import a .txt file apart from importing it as an attachment?

The only way I've found is to open it with another note app like notepad, copy the text and then paste it into a new note
[Android Apps and Games] devkats:
One of the best note taking apps I've seen. I hate evernote it's just two overwhelming for my use needs. If this had auto sync to dropbox or Google Drive that would make it perfect! :)
[Android Apps and Games] oldman20:
Did it auto sync with any cloud?

[Android Apps and Games] JordanWhat:
Thanks for such a wonderful app! I have one suggestion: please change the square graphic for New Item in list mode to the + sign, so it doesnt look like another nonexistant item. Take a look at how the lists are done in google keep, its more logical. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] iphone.ang:
Thanks for such a best app for me! I have small suggestion: Tag Cloud add to the menu, as is done in Gogle Keep. Sorry for my English.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
You mean something like adding an "add category" to the left navigation menu panel or something else?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
That's the way Google Keep itself used to work when I started writing the ChecklistView library

I'll add as task to the project but I'm currently not working on it so it could take some time before it'll be implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] iphone.ang:
Yes the menu , as is done at Google Keep.
[Android Apps and Games] overflamed:
i liked it at first, but something typing is just laggy for me
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
News available here!

A new version is being rolled out on alpha stage.

[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
It was present on some previosu release but it has been removed to semplify the workflow
[Android Apps and Games] iphone.ang:
In versions 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 does not work search on labels in Russian.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
This could be hard to replicate for me without further informations.

Could you please provide an example, eventually with the needed text?

Any chance for dark theme?
[Android Apps and Games] phvo:
Hello

It will be very useful to have the possibility :

1) to synchronize notes from one device to an other device.

2) to be able to backup / restore / save note into the cloud

What do you think about these features?

Best regards

[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
https://github.com/federicoiosue/Omni-Notes/issues/55

and, in the meantime, you could start by trying the alpha version of the app (I've actually released it as a standalone app to avoid data loss) that has an auto-backup feature that I currently use to sync notes to my desktop:

https://plus.google.com/+FedericoIosue81/posts/DGyv6sdsTWb
[Android Apps and Games] phvo:
Thank you.

I will try it and report !

I just try it now :

On both devices, I installed omninote alpha + Google drive + drive sync.

When I create several notes on one device it automatically synchronize with the other device but it was a partial synchronisation :

1) all notes where created / modified on the both device,

2) but all attached files (audio, pic, draw, ) didn't appear in the notes in the app

3) but all attached files were present in the _autobackup directory on the both device,

Best regards
[Android Apps and Games] Diamorphoses:
Hi.

First of all thank you for developing open source apps.

It took me quite a while to find the download link :silly: since I don't have play store installed. O would like to suggest you to provide your app on xda-labs, if you also think that could be convenient for you :)

Regarding the app itself (I haven't fully tested it yet), I would like to suggest the best feature that I ever found in a note app: to add the option to show a notification icon for selected note(s). It is very handy to display a permanent icon in the bar (left side) for a to-do list or shopping list. It reminds me that I have something to do or buy, and from the notification bar I can quickly open that selected note. If there is the option to choose a color for that icon even better :)

I only tested one note app with this option which is called "color note" (I hope you don't mind me referring it in your thread). Unfortunately it is not open source, and I prefer to use and support open source projects.

Thanks for listening users.

Keep up the good work. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] l7yb6rf:
Why does it try to connect to lnx3.slhosting.it:80 (95.141.35.185:80) every time?

According to firewall/packet analysis, Omni Notes Connects to some host every time it starts..

Why does it connect to

lnx3.slhosting.it:80 (95.141.35.185:80)

every time it's launched?

What is it sending ?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
It's actually retrieving the latest available version to notify users to update.

Here the related code: https://github.com/federicoiosue/Om...feio/android/omninotes/async/UpdaterTask.java
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Double post
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
The app is now available also on XDA-Labs!

Checkout the link on the first post!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Link is DOA.

I've been looking around for an Open Source Dark Theme (AMOLED) Encrpyted note application. Anyone care to comment if this will fit the bill? How reliable is it?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
It seems that the links shared from inside the XDA Labs app is openable only from the app itself (the http protocoll is only for helping intent catching).

Actually no dark theme is provided, it's on the roadmap for the Pro version.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Interesting. I'd be interesting in purchasing the application's PRO version for a DARK theme, just not through the Play infrastructure. No F-Droid APK?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Here you have the related informations: https://github.com/federicoiosue/Omni-Notes/issues/177
[Android Apps and Games] :
Again: Interesting.

Your application seems to be the most openly developed and maintained in this category. I haven't been on Android in 8 months but I'm back now and hunting for well supported/updated FOSS applications. Please continue to push for F-Droid inclusion. I would be happy to make a donation for the same price as the PRO version, if it would unlock themes and help move the application away from the Play services...
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
The fact is, I have to say the truth, that keeping the app completely open-source is quite hard due to the needed of avoiding to use so much useful things like play services library itself.

I've developed a couple of apps at work that required less than half of the handcrafted code for some specific components...
[Android Apps and Games] user30000z:
Hi, when will the web interface suppose to be released?
[Android Apps and Games] stevierayvaughan:
^^ Wondering that too.

I want to switch from Simplenotes because of Omni's attachment capabilities but Simplenotes has a web app and a native Windows app; lack of anything but one Android place to access my notes is preventing me from using Omni full-on, but it's the best one on Android! I've tried 'em all including what I think is the contender Material Notes, but again only an Android app and nowhere else can I get my notes. Would more than gladly pay to have a web app/native OS (Win/Mac) app, any of this in the works or plan to? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] pcmanager:
When I attach a file, PDF or documents the file name and a thumbnail shows up blank. So when I pull up a note with several attachments I have no idea what they are. Something I am doing wrong? Great app, Thanks!

Edit... My bad I just made a note and now the file names do show up... Don't know why they didn't before. But the thumbnails are still blank.

Would be great to have option to set different notification sounds to differentiate notes.... Important ones verses every day reminders. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] pcmanager:
I just selected some text from a checklist item and as soon as I try to drag it to another position the app force closes. It does show the text starting to move and then the app crashes. I'm on marshmallow , hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] xerxes76:
OmniNotes is a very nice app. Small, fast and without clutter.

Nevertheless, I recently ran into the following issue.

If you use repeating alarms on notes, they will return on selected times, even when they are in trash. Even if you empty the trash, they can return. I got only rid of them by making a backup, killing data und restoring backup. If you don't delete all app data during this backup/restore steps, they will return, too.

I'm using a Honor 4x with Android KitKat.
[Android Apps and Games] wiedo:
Any chance i can import my google keep stuff?

And where can i download the .apk (without using the play store)?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
It's not possible to import Keep's notes due to the fact that its data are not exposed to other apps.

To download Omni Notes you can also use the XDA Labs app.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Thanks for pointing me at that, I'll fix it asap
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
I have a different problem. I use repeating alarms (alarm is once or twice a week) on notes that are in archive (they should remember me, but I don't want to see them always on the list).

The alarms work fine for a week or two, but then just stop to work.
[Android Apps and Games] wiedo:
I really can't find the app in XDA Labs (not by searching 'Omni', not by visiting this topic or browsing in the categories).

Google takeout (https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout) offers a way to convert your Google Keep notes to HTML, so maybe you can make something in the future to import those HTML files?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
It seems that the app has been removed from XDA Labs. The Omni Notes page is there, but it contains a corresponding note regarding its removal.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Nice idea about using the Google's takeout feature to bulk import notes, I didn't noticed that Keep's notes also were included!

About XDA Labs issue I'll give a look but yes, you're right, it seems that the app is not reachable there and I don't know why. Thanks for pointing me at that!
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
It should be available through the XDA app now
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Yes, it is.
[Android Apps and Games] langweiligh3:
wow, your app is amazing! only one thing I miss (besides the hopefully soon coming desktop version): basic formatting, like bullet points, numbered lists and bold. Imho that really helps little bit longer notes to increase clarity.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
That's not on the roadmap currently.

Omni Notes is intended to be an as-simple-as-possible solution to take simple and stand-alone notes and that nice feature is beyond its nature.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
A new release of the app has been released as FOSS and it's available using F-Droid!

https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=omni+notes&fdid=it.feio.android.omninotes.foss
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
I see that this is a different app (in terms of app signature) than the old one (which isn't available anymore on F-Droid). Will the old one still receive updates or should we install the new version and uninstall the old one?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Omni Notes has never been available through F-Droid until now. You're talking about the one from play store or xdalab?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
I know that it is available on both Play Store and XDA Labs, but strangely, I saw it on F-Droid some time ago (also, it showed me an update notification once through the F-Droid app). I didn't check for the authorship, I assumed it was you. Re-checked again, but it is gone now :confused:

Nevertheless, when downloading the current app from F-Droid webpage, it shows me that it is a different version than the one from PS/Labs, therefore my question regarding future updates.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
If you still have the apk you could check the signature itself.

Eventually could you share it to me for a double check?
[Android Apps and Games] Wacco001:
+1 :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] IDtheTarget:
+1

I have a Synology NAS and would love being able to sync to it instead of drop box, google drive, etc.

How do you create a tag? When I try to add a tag to a note, it keeps telling me that I haven't created any tags yet. And I can't see how to add them in the settings.

When I try to add a tag, it should give me the option to select a current one or create a new one.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] adolfovm:
Shortcuts on Home Screen

Hey, I really like your app, it is very simple and with a lot of feature I really dig.

One thing I would like is for you to add support to home screen shortcuts to tags, so I can access directly only my Work or Personal tags directly from the home screen, without the need of going inside the application and selecting which ones to review.

It would be a great little feature that I love from the already dead Catch Notes. :(
[Android Apps and Games] UnidH4x0r:
Any plans to add S-Pen compatibility with palm rejection?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
It's an easy thing so I'll work on that as soon as I can. Thanks for the hint!
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
A lot of people asked my about that.

I'll do what I can, the actual Sketch-mode is born as an experiment to develop something for digital pens.
[Android Apps and Games] gylee:
Snippet support

I think it needs to support snippets for a quick text insertion.

I usually have a single note to keep track of daily activities. It would be great if I could just press a button (or make a gesture) to insert the current date, or the current GPS location, or whatever texts I've predefined.
[Android Apps and Games] power2top:
Import from .txt support?

Does it import .txt files as notes? I use few notes app like Papyrus, mobislenotes which stores the notes in .txt files in a particular directory. This is also a good things as migration to a new app or backups etc when changing phones is only a matter of moving the folder containing ur notes to the new phone, or backing up on cloud storage etc. Does your app have Import .txt files as Notes features? Thats the first thing for me in any notes app I try since I dont want to tie myself to particular platform.
[Android Apps and Games] hawkjm73:
Do you have, or would be willing to include, public intents for controlling the notes?

I'd love to have a note so that could interface well with Tasker (the automation app), such as adding or modifying a note, viewing notes, starting a sync, knowing when a note has been added or changes, or a sync has then place.

Tasker can send and receive public intents very easily, or it has a plugin system, if you're interested in that.
[Android Apps and Games] vaibhav.ravi:
I love it, I'm currently using Keep, and this app feels and works great :)

Keep going mate :)
[Android Apps and Games] AllSeeyinEye:
Installed the beta after joining the G+ community.

I can't seem to find an option to sync my Google notes. I've got some 25+ notes and lists in Keep and I actually don't feel like manually recreating them in ON.

I'll keep this app installed, but won't use it until it integrates Google notes.

btw, it does look very nice :)
[Android Apps and Games] Aerkhanite:
Since the app is open-source, why don't you upload it to F-droid?

F-Droid.org is the only app store for open source Android apps.

It's the preferred app store for people who don't trust Google anymore and such use a AOSP rom + F-Droid.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Hi,

this could be a not easy thing to do due to various formats that third party apps could use to export their data.

I'm working on supporting Google Keep notes import (right now if you share a note from Keep to ON you'll get the job done and also checklist converted, in most cases) but this feature is not complete already.

What about exporting...

Initially this app had an export tool to csv, that could be good for your needs, but I abandoned it because it was just good to export notes text, without attachments or tags, otherwise I'll put myself in the situation I described you above!
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
I'll give a look, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
You'll wait forever then!

Google Keep doesn't provide APIs to sync with it.

I could synchronize ON with Google Tasks but I believe its not really useful right now. The future synchronization will be done with "storage" services like DropBox or Google Drive, and later I'll provide a frontend based on Parse to manage your notes directly from a web browser.

But for have your Keep notes into ON you have to share them one by one. Actually this import is not completelly functional but it will be ready soon, I've already moved all my notes from Keep to ON using this method.
