Joonote, a new Android application, introduces an innovative way to access notes and reminders by keeping them as persistent notifications at the top of the screen and on the lock screen. This functionality aims to ensure notes remain accessible until marked as completed.
Features and Usability
The app provides a minimalistic interface, featuring a straightforward editor for lists, labels, and reminders. Users can customize notes with background colors and have the option to lock notes, preventing them from showing up in notifications. Joonote also allows users to search, archive, and delete notes easily. A key offering is the ability to sync notes with Google Drive, though they are stored locally by default for offline access.
Data Privacy and Cost
Joonote stands out by requesting minimal permissions, not displaying ads, and ensuring privacy by not collecting email addresses or performing data tracking. An interactive widget enhances note management from the home screen. The app is free for the first 30 days; thereafter, it requires a one-time purchase of $15 to continue use, making it an affordable and privacy-conscious choice.
