Native Markdown rendering for rich text formatting, including headers, checklists, code blocks, and quotes.
Seamless image support to embed photos directly alongside your text.
Organization tools that allow you to color-code, pin, and sort your notes.
Home screen widgets for quick access to your most important notes.
Built-in privacy options to lock the app behind biometric authentication and block the Android system from taking screenshots of your data.
