OwnNotes

Your Nextcloud noteson your phone.

OwnNotes is a client for the Notes app on your Nextcloud server. Notes stay plain Markdown files on your server; the app only reads and writes them.

Download What the app does

Android iOS

Your server, your notes

Your notes are not parked in somebody else's storage. You enter the address of your own server and the phone talks to it directly. You need a Nextcloud server with the Notes app installed.

  • Your own server

    Notes are Markdown files on the server you choose. The app publisher has no access to them.

  • Several accounts at once

    More than one account can be signed in at the same time.

  • No advertising

    No ads, no in-app purchases, no selling of data.

What the app does

An overview of what OwnNotes does with the notes from the Notes app.

Writing offline
Changes upload on their own when the connection is back, also while the app is closed.
Plain Markdown
The editor stays raw Markdown, preview only with its button. Tasks written as - [ ] can be ticked in preview.
Search and sorting
Search in the list and inside a note, categories, favorites, sorting and delete.
Version conflicts
When the same note changed elsewhere, both versions are shown and you choose. Nothing is overwritten silently.
Share, import and export
Share from other apps into a note, import from Google Keep (Google Takeout zip) and export as a zip.
Lock and widget
App lock with fingerprint or the phone PIN, screenshot blocking, and a home-screen widget with the latest notes.

Sync

Your notes without a signal

Notes are also kept in the app's database on the phone, so they open without a connection.

  1. You can write offline. Changes upload on their own as soon as the connection returns.
  2. Uploading also happens while the app is closed.
  3. On a conflict you see both versions of the note and choose yourself.
  4. All notes can be exported from the app as a zip.

Privacy and security

What is stored and what is sent is described in the privacy policy.

Password in the system vault

Sign-in uses Nextcloud Login Flow v2. The app password is kept in Android Keystore or Apple Keychain.

Reports without note content

Crash reports and statistics go to the publisher's own servers and contain no note text, titles or your server address.

Notes stay with you

Note content travels only between the phone and your Nextcloud server.
