To be honest, I do not use the Play store at all. I hate it. 'Nough said. Please provide a method to always download the current APK - it would be awesome if I could set a link in my browser to be able to grab the bleeding edge version if I wanted to.

[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Sorry :)

For now is not prioritary and anyhow I don't want to create a replacement for more complex text editors.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
I've added to README at least the library dependencies
[Android Apps and Games] Heisenberg:
Ok. I guess I'm of the opinion that the users "make" the app via feature requests, the app is for the user after all. They definitely govern how popular it is though, and you have an opportunity here to create something that the users want, something really terrific.

I don't see that feature as trying to replace a more complex text editor. In my opinion it's basic functionality, it allows the user to insert sub-headings or differentiate sections of a note.

By the way, the changelog feature within the app causes it to force close. Logcat attached.

The problem you reported is solved, a new build has been published.

About your hint, I'll be glad to see it posted into Google+ community, many people asked for that features and this way I could keep easier track of user desires..

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Nice app, I too thought Evernote was too complex for simple note-taking.

Just one request: Please make a black Holo theme!
[Android Apps and Games] rockky:
Great app....

I partly use notes app with multi-media insertion.

Questions

1.Can images please be displayed at full size as in Keep and Evernote?

2. Can image thumbnails in main scroll list be supported.

3. Finally, it'd nice if note colors were a little more visible!

Will this be in the plan?

Thanks for a Note app that is the perfect balance between too simple and too complex!

[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Thanks for your feedback!

(1)

Yes, Evernote shows images attachments keeping their relative dimensions, but Google Keep not.

I prefer the second mode because I'm trying to show attachments in a regular grid and for this reason I'm forced to make images fit a regular square (taking as side the smaller dimension).

(2)

I wont to maintain compatibility and efficiency also on older and smaller-scheen devices.

To do this I have to reduce image processing, between the other things.

Anyway, I'll think of this proposal!

(3)

I've enlarged a little the width of the colored tag-markers on the Beta version, if you're on the stable please give it a try, so you can give me your opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
It's on the to-do list
[Android Apps and Games] theodor.machnich:
Backend

Hi arnesottolo,

thank you for this great app.

I like it very much as a alternative app and to replace evernote.

I tried out a lot of note and task apps and what I miss is a backend for my server at home.

So that I can synchronice all the content to my Synology Diskstation or Qnap NAS etc...

Than I can be master of my data's.

Can you bring such a backen, than is it a 100% replacemnet for all this webbased stuff on servers I didn't now.

I wll also spend money or buy the app, no problem.

All the bst Theo
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Once the next stable will be ready I'll start developing synchronization.

My first thoughts about this were to use a file storage service like Google Drive, DropBox and/or similars.

I'm now thinking to directly jump this process and go further by developing a cloud backend giving the possibility to manage your notes direclty from the browser.

Depending on the backend-as-service I'll choose you could install it directly on your NAS or wherever you'd prefer.
[Android Apps and Games] Slayerrider:
Thanks a lot!

[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
I'll be glad to see it!

If you wait for the official release you could show the whole feature set that everybody can have access to.

You could post it on the Google+ community too.

Genius Developer Federico Iosue​!

This app could actually replace Keep, then Evernote! Never thought I'd say that.

Hoping for

✔ Grid display option (lotta wasted space on the main view),

✔ Google Dropbox file attachments. ﻿

✔ A note be able to have more than one tag!!!! ﻿

✔ Homescreen shortcut options for Tags and notes

✔ Image Thumbnails (really visually personalizes the main view!).
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
I've released from a few a major update of my note-taking application.

Hello

It's a real pleasure to take notes with omni note. I would like to share some suggestions about features :

1) possibility to attach any type of file (txt, doc, pdf,...)

2) possibiliy to attach qr code or bar code. When you want to attach a qr code, select the qr code icon in the menu then automatically an app is proposed (), select the map, take the qr code and the code is inserted

3) possibility to attach a map of a specified location.( Imagine that i want to explain a path. I can attach a map of a searched location, and draw on this map)

4) possibility to rotate a photo and change the size (weight) of the photo. Just long press on the photo and you can change the size and orientation.

5) possibility to write a todo list

6) Possibility to send a note to the calendar (not only google calendar)

7) possibility to draw or attach a sketch (trought an external app?)

8) in some case, internet is not available. Is it possible to determine location thought gps or gsm antenna triangulation. You get the coordinate in a first time but when internet is available, coordinate could resolved into an address or a location.

What do you think about these suggestions?

Best regards

Philippe

Hi there,

is somebody having application crashes using Samsung devices? Especially with the newest ones (Galaxy IV, Galaxy III, Note).

I'm receiving a lot of reports about it but I cant reproduce the critical behavior!

Some suggestions

I am using this app since a week ago and it seems quite capable, however I have some suggestions

1. Please add option for smaller font size as the text looks quite big on my display.

2. Add a default Tag named untagged to find all the notes that doesn't have a tag.

3. Have an option for unchecked items behaviour similar to checked items behaviour (Item move to the top of list on being unchecked)

4. Snooze delay time can be configured for every reminder instead being fixed for all. (Configurable at the time of reminder)

5. Have an option to backup automatically whenever a note is added / deleted / modified with limit to number of backups.

6. Have separate option for restore and delete backups as some times while deleting an old backup it gets restored.

7. Option to configure the main list to show more or less number of lines of a note or thumbnail of an attachment.

I hope you would find the above suggestions useful.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
I really like your app so far. Thumbs up! :)

A few things I would like to suggest:

- sorting of checklists inside a note (I want to use it as a shopping list, and alphabetical order would be easier to find)

- a toast message when a checklist item was removed

- manual note sorting

- the top menu looks a bit "full" on kit kat, because of the 3-dot menu. Maybe sorting could be placed in the 3-dot menu, because this option is not used this often?!

- possibility to put attachments where you want inside a note

I think I can remove gNotes soon, because of omni notes :)

I put my suggestions as a feature request in the community page and will donate in a few days :)
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
Love what you're doing with this app. Looking forward to more fun features in the future!

Could you please add a more expansive colour picker? Not enough choices for now I feel.

And tag locking if possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Damisiech:
First of all: great app!

I'm totally with rmittal when it comes to backup/restore functionality:

However I would suggest to extend this request to automated backups every X (minutes/hours/days/whatever), but only if notes have been added/deleted/modified. In my opinion a backup after every change seems to be too much.

This would be helpful as I am syncing my notes export folder to my private cloud automatically.

In this context it might also be an idea to specify a custom export directory.
[Android Apps and Games] prinz.z:
Okay, I finally got it forked (my first serious attempt with GitHub). I added very simple functionality of:

Take picture but encrypted, without storing the picture on the phone's storage

For encryption, I use AES CBC, generating a key based on the md5-hash of the omni-note password and salt & IV

Simple image viewer to view full version of decrypted image, as it cannot be viewed in external apps

Are you interested in including the functionality in the main app (maybe send me a pm here then)? If not, someone else interested in this functionality and wants to help me test / improve it?

Further ideas are:

encryption based on additional passwords

require passwords to view images, independent of the omninotes password

paranoid mode: require entering the password every time a picture is taken for encryption and every time the picture is shown for decryption without storing the password in the preferences / ram
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Hi,

thank you all, many of your hints have been included into the new Beta version I've released today.

You can check it out with the Google+ Beta Opt-in link!
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
slightly paranoid? :p
[Android Apps and Games] prinz.z:
Haha, well.. I, personally, only want that functionality in order to block Facebook or Twitter to automatically scan my pictures and "process" them, whatever that means. Recently, I noticed facebook & twitter "offering" me the 3 recent shots in my timeline, with the question "Do you want to publish this to your friends??". As I'm using my mobile to take pictures of private documents as well (as a substitute for a scanner), a simple encryption, even with a very poor encryption key keeps my documents to myself, such that facebook does not accidentially publish my sick note or something like that :P.

But when I had the idea of encrypting the picture right away, I noticed, that there is no app for that, at least none that i found and not open source (which is essential for encryption software IMHO). By adding these features, you could probably help people who really need encryption. That was my idea behind this :)
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
If all you want is an open source encryption tool, there's one called Encdroid on play store
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
I believe it's a great idea but could be problematic to integrate that in an application that is done to harvest and share data.

But if you create a specifical application I'm going to download it for sure!
[Android Apps and Games] prinz.z:
No, I already have an encryption tool (EDS), which is working great. The problem is only in the nature Android is storing pictures that I take with the camera. Once I take a picture with any Picture app (for example Android's build-in), the picture is put either on the phone storage or the sdcard. In that moment, it is put into the gallery and apps like facebook are notified about that. And even if I put that file in another folder or rename the file extension, the public storage is public storage, so apps can "subscribe" to any changes.

What I wanted to have / create is an app that let me take a picture and encrypt it on the fly, without putting it on the public storage first. What makes OmniNotes so interesting is the fact, that I want to archive and tag and describe these pictures, for example for Receipts, router passwords, sick certificates, etc. From my point of view, OmniNotes is not primary a tool to share data, but indeed to harvest, but to harvest for me and myself.. So encryption does not harm anyone and in addition, it should be optional and not mandatory.

And also sharing would be possible by either encrypting the image with the public key of someone else using asymetric cryptography, or sharing the decrypted image, as it is the user's choice to share it.

I already implemented the module to take an encrypted picture, view the thumbnail and open an internal viewer in OmniNotes. Have to manage forking correctly and pushing changes to my github though.. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
I use EDS as well!! Just suggested Encdroid because you mentioned open source.. Btw have you managed to figure out what New File option in EDS does?

And looking forward to your project.. Will download surely :D
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGNYC:
FWIW, I've been using Note Everything Pro since I got my OG Evo. You can encrypt items selectively (don't know about photos, I only encrypt text-based entries). I think selective encryption is an excellent idea for this app. You could still easily share non-encrypted entries...

Need to share an encrypted entry? How about the share menu being available for it after entering your passcode?
[Android Apps and Games] toxic-hero:
great app!!

i prefer open source and i've been using nononsens notes, but you're app is even better.

two things that i really miss:

- scheduled backup + manually selected backup folder (i don't like commercial clouds because i care about privacy so i have a folder on my device that i sync to my computer via ssh)

- better widget (to be able to see all or selected note/tasks on my desktop - see the attachment)

also, would it be possible to make an optional even more condensed list of notes (two lines, maybe)?

and the last question: does the password encrypt notes with a real encryption?

thanks for your kind efforts!
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Hi,

I'll answer you point to point.

(1) Scheduled backup is not going to be implemented because is an high resource usage process due to che need of copy files and less recent devices could have problems with this. And given that one of the goals is to keep as far as I can retro-compatibility this question will find a solution when I'll implement cloud sync (tath could maybe be OwnCloud, so you could use your own server if you want);

(2) A more efficient widget, Android 4.2 lockscreen widget and DashClock extension compatibility are ready and I'm going to release a new Beta with this features in a few, so be sure to check it out to give me your feedback;

(3) I thought about it but I'd like to keep app as simple as possible, without replenishing the user with a lot of options so I believe the thing you're asking for will be satisfied by giving an option to change font size, having in this way two goals with just one more option;

(4) The old term used to indicate note protection has been changed from the english "lock" to "mask" to be more explicit on the fact that this feature will simply obscure your words and images to someone taking your phone for a moment, or peeping into your data but this is not a security tool. When I'll work on cloud sync and I'll have to keep your data secure on the web I'll maybe extend se same protocol to offline data.

Glad you liked the application, bye!
[Android Apps and Games] toxic-hero:
hey, thanks for your kind response!

i didn't know that this feature is so hard to implement, it is present for years on 'note everything' (a note app i used before i started searching for open source). is it then at least possible be able to manualy select the backup folder on the device?

great! i am a beta tester and will let you know about any issue.

keeping app simple is a great approach. i abandoned 'note everything' for being so bloated (and not an open source). there's only not really a big difference between 'expanded view' and 'contracted view' (on my device); maybe only 5%.

i don't really use this app for confidential stuff, there are other apps for encryption. anyway, changing the terms from "lock" to "mask" is a good decision to be more clear about this feature.

is it possible to translate your app to my language via transifex.com or some other internet service? that would be a great way to contribute.

thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
you can find Omni Notes on Crowdin, send me a request to contribute, I'll accept it!
[Android Apps and Games] toxic-hero:

[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
Can you please add a feature to lock a particular tag?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Hi,

what do you mean with "lock"?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
A new version on the application #OmniNotes has been released on Google Play with a lot a new features, check it out!

- New "Expanded View" visualization of notes list, with attachments preview

- Swipe to delete gesture

- Deletion and archiviation action cancellables with overlayed undo-bar

- Application tour to show Omni Notes' basic features

- You can create shortcuts to notes on launcher home

- Google Now integration: just say "write a note", followed by content

- Home and Lockscreen (Android >= 4.2.2 only) widgets with scrolling notes list (only Android 3.2 or later)

- DashClock extension support

- Security question system in case you forget the password

- A lot more fixes and improvements﻿

A big thank you (as always) to the translators that are helping to bring to all the users a localized version on the app enduring contribution to the continuous changes that I make to strings! ﻿
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
By 'lock' I mean to password protect particular tags. For instance, the title of masked notes is still visible. So if you can add a feature to password protect a whole tag, all the sensitive notes can be stored under this particular tag. What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Try requesting the feature on G+, for now I'll add this to the "to-think-about" list, it will be maybe considered when the actual "tag" concept will be refactored transforming it to "Categories" and this will allow me to introduce real tags (more of them should be associated to a note).
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
Yeah Categories sounds good. Hope this could be implemented soon. Thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] adl:
I have 2 questions, maybe someone is so kind to answer these:

-Is it possible to colorize the whole note (not just a little bar on the left), like with google keep?

-is location based reminders working like in google keep?

Thanks for a short reply!
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
- yes

- no (there are no location based reminders)
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
Hello,

a new Beta is going to be published on Play Store.

This one took me a lot of time due to the lot of work I've done rewriting the whole core code of the app acquiring this way the ability of playing with animations and screen transactions without losing retro-compatibility.

This is far from being just an aesthetics decision, I believe it brings a lot of more usability giving some less "on/off" effect and more dynamism to the layout movements.

Back to the new Beta features the two major that have been introduced are the generic file attachments support and custom fonts size to improve (once again) usability.

This build is still affected from many bugs (mainly widget's related) but I decided to release it anyway mainly to offer to the translators something more palpable to give a look at, so it's strongly recommended do make a backup of your notes before upgrading.

Thank you all.

No crash here. Everything is fine.
[Android Apps and Games] arnesottolo:
As always non determinism rules...

I'll fix asap
[Android Apps and Games] rmittal:
When I updated to version 4.5.0 (93) it started crashing everyone. Then I uninstalled it and installed afresh, version was 4.5.0 (95) the app started and showed the first screen (tour) and then again started to crash at every launch.

I have sent the crash report generated by your app a few times.

Hope you can fix it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
Startup crash fixed. But the response time seems to be considerably increased. Switching between tags, going back from a note to a tag takes more time than before.
