About Encly: Encrypted Offline Notes
Encly is an encrypted notes app for private notes and tasks that never leave your phone. Offline notes with a PIN lock: no account, no cloud, no ads, and no internet permission at all.
Most note apps want an account and a server. Encly has neither. Your encrypted notes live in one place: your phone.
Use it as a password-protected notepad, a private diary or journal, or a safe place to hide notes from anyone who picks up your phone.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
o No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads, no in-app purchases.
o Truly offline: Encly does not request the INTERNET permission, so it cannot send your notes anywhere.
o Encrypted notes at rest: a SQLCipher (AES-256) database under a random 256-bit key.
o PIN lock: a 6-digit PIN tied to your phone's secure hardware, plus optional fingerprint or face unlock (strong biometrics only).
o Locks itself: after you leave (15 seconds by default, or immediately) or the moment the screen turns off, the database is closed and the key is wiped from memory.
o Screenshots, screen recording and recent-apps previews are blocked. Android cloud backup is off.
RECOVERY PHRASE AND ENCRYPTED BACKUPS
o Optional 12-word recovery phrase: forgot your PIN? The phrase unlocks your vault and lets you set a new one.
o Export all notes, tasks and tags to one encrypted file (AES-256-GCM) and save it wherever you choose: a folder, a USB stick, your own cloud drive. Encly never uploads it.
o Restore on a new phone with the same 12 words, or merge a backup into an existing vault.
o Nobody can recover your notes for you, not even the developer. Keep the words on paper.
A SECURE NOTEPAD THAT IS PLEASANT TO WRITE IN
o Block editor: text, headings, quotes, checklists, bulleted and numbered lists, links and separators.
o Tags, search, list or grid view, several sort orders.
o Tasks with priorities, right next to your notes.
o Trash with restore.
o Five themes (Paper, Forest, Ocean, Graphite, Midnight), light, dark or system mode, dynamic color on Android 12+, and three font sets bundled in the app.
OPEN SOURCE
o Encly is open source (Apache-2.0): anyone can check what it does.
o Works without Google Play Services. Android 8.0 or newer.
o 9 languages: English, Ukrainian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Dutch. Pick one for Encly alone in Settings -> Language.
Encly: encrypted notes that stay yours.

| Release info | Update on Oct 27, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Release notes | versionCode 20301. Added • "Copy as Markdown" in a note's menu puts the note as it is on screen (title and blocks, unsaved edits included) on the clipboard, with no front matter. Like every Encly clip it is marked sensitive and cleared after a minute (#76). • Long-pressing any icon-only button shows what it does, in your language (#76). • Opening a note grows it from its card, and closing it shrinks it back. Fixed • Coloured notes no longer show a seam at the status bar when opening or closing. • Checklist boxes stay on the first line of their item however many multi-line items come before, and a new empty list item no longer sits squeezed against the one above until you type (#76). • Undo and redo put the cursor where the step changed things, also after several rounds, in lists and paragraphs, instead of jumping to the first item or drifting along the text (#76). • Holding Backspace now also crosses empty lines without stopping (#76). • A checked item stays struck through while the keyboard is working on its last word (#76). • Tapping the empty page below a short note starts writing at its end, however far down, and brings the keyboard back if it was hidden (#76). • Turning a list into another kind, or a paragraph into a list and back, keeps the cursor in the same item and place (#76). • The separator's tap target is smaller, so it is harder to hit by accident (#76). • The keyboard no longer closes and reopens when you use the list buttons, undo or redo them, or delete a list's last item (#76). Verify Download SHA256SUMS next to the APK and run sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS. Check the signer with apksigner verify --print-certs against the certificate fingerprint published in the README. |
