Quick Notes
A lightweight memo app for Android that turns a thought into a saved note as fast as unlocking the phone — via launcher shortcuts, the quick-settings tile, share sheet, voice, text selection, a home-screen widget, or the call-memo overlay.
About
Quick Notes is an Android memo app focused on capturing thoughts the moment they happen. Create, edit, archive, restore from trash, and organize notes with color labels, checklists, and folders. Full-text search across notes is built in. A first-launch onboarding pager walks you through the system-wide Quick Access entry points, and each entry can be toggled individually in Settings — every Quick Access entry is off by default.
Quick Notes is free to use with ads. You can remove ads at any time through an in-app purchase.

- Folders to organize notes; pin a folder to the launcher for one-tap access
- Full-text search across all notes
Quick Access — System-Wide Entry Points
Six optional entry points let you reach Quick Notes without opening the app first. Each is opt-in via Settings → Quick Access, and a tutorial bottom sheet introduces each one when you turn it on (replayable from a [?] button on every row).

- Quick Settings Tile — one tap from the pull-down tray opens a new memo
- Share to Quick Notes — appears in any app's share sheet (text/plain); Sharing Shortcuts (Direct Share) on Android 10+ surfaces frequent targets
