- A lightweight note app that saves to Google Drive (stored in the cloud, not on your device)

- Backup / migration (SimplyNote format; Pro can include file attachments)
- Pro: No ads + unlimited file attachments + self-host support
SimplyNote is a lightweight note app you can use casually for free.
We focused on a clean, easy-to-scan list and a smooth, responsive feel. Notes can be organized with stars and tags.
Notes are saved to Google Drive, which is a good fit if you prefer not to keep your data locally on the device.
With Pro, ads are removed, and both the number of notes and file attachments are unlimited. File attachments in notes are available in Pro only.
For users who want to manage their data themselves, SimplyNote also supports saving to your own storage via a self-hosted SimplyNote API server (Pro).
The API / WebUI is available on GitHub: iz69/SimplyNote
Because you can keep your data under your own control, this app is also suitable for users who care about privacy.
