Great idea is to have a Sync solution based on own synology NAS !

+1

I have a Synology NAS and would love being able to sync to it instead of drop box, google drive, etc.

How do you create a tag? When I try to add a tag to a note, it keeps telling me that I haven't created any tags yet. And I can't see how to add them in the settings.

When I try to add a tag, it should give me the option to select a current one or create a new one.

Thanks!

Shortcuts on Home Screen

Hey, I really like your app, it is very simple and with a lot of feature I really dig.

One thing I would like is for you to add support to home screen shortcuts to tags, so I can access directly only my Work or Personal tags directly from the home screen, without the need of going inside the application and selecting which ones to review.

It would be a great little feature that I love from the already dead Catch Notes.

Any plans to add S-Pen compatibility with palm rejection?

It's an easy thing so I'll work on that as soon as I can. Thanks for the hint!

A lot of people asked my about that.

I'll do what I can, the actual Sketch-mode is born as an experiment to develop something for digital pens.

Snippet support

I think it needs to support snippets for a quick text insertion.
I usually have a single note to keep track of daily activities. It would be great if I could just press a button (or make a gesture) to insert the current date, or the current GPS location, or whatever texts I've predefined.

Import from .txt support?

Does it import .txt files as notes? I use few notes app like Papyrus, mobislenotes which stores the notes in .txt files in a particular directory. This is also a good things as migration to a new app or backups etc when changing phones is only a matter of moving the folder containing ur notes to the new phone, or backing up on cloud storage etc. Does your app have Import .txt files as Notes features? Thats the first thing for me in any notes app I try since I dont want to tie myself to particular platform.

Do you have, or would be willing to include, public intents for controlling the notes?

I'd love to have a note so that could interface well with Tasker (the automation app), such as adding or modifying a note, viewing notes, starting a sync, knowing when a note has been added or changes, or a sync has then place.

Tasker can send and receive public intents very easily, or it has a plugin system, if you're interested in that.

I love it, I'm currently using Keep, and this app feels and works great
Keep going mate

Installed the beta after joining the G+ community.
I can't seem to find an option to sync my Google notes. I've got some 25+ notes and lists in Keep and I actually don't feel like manually recreating them in ON.
I'll keep this app installed, but won't use it until it integrates Google notes.

btw, it does look very nice

Since the app is open-source, why don't you upload it to F-droid?
F-Droid.org is the only app store for open source Android apps.
It's the preferred app store for people who don't trust Google anymore and such use a AOSP rom + F-Droid.

Hi,

this could be a not easy thing to do due to various formats that third party apps could use to export their data.
I'm working on supporting Google Keep notes import (right now if you share a note from Keep to ON you'll get the job done and also checklist converted, in most cases) but this feature is not complete already.

What about exporting...
Initially this app had an export tool to csv, that could be good for your needs, but I abandoned it because it was just good to export notes text, without attachments or tags, otherwise I'll put myself in the situation I described you above!

I'll give a look, thanks!

You'll wait forever then!

Google Keep doesn't provide APIs to sync with it.
I could synchronize ON with Google Tasks but I believe its not really useful right now. The future synchronization will be done with "storage" services like DropBox or Google Drive, and later I'll provide a frontend based on Parse to manage your notes directly from a web browser.

But for have your Keep notes into ON you have to share them one by one. Actually this import is not completelly functional but it will be ready soon, I've already moved all my notes from Keep to ON using this method.

Thanks for the app...will definetly try it out tonight...
just wanted to say that i use my tablet frequently for notes taking and it would be awsome if it could integrate file attachments to selected texts in the note so that if i click on that hyperlink it takes my to my gallery or video that i link it with...perhaps in a quick drop down menu by just holding it for a second?

thanks again

Why Difficult? All the .txt files are simple text notes some of them written on my PC and moved to my device for being handy which I open in these notes apps. Incase OmniNotes uses a database/custom format to store notes then you would basically read each .txt file from the filesystem directory and import into OmniNotes text note format using your own API!! as if user typed it manually in omni. dont think that is difficult.

Hello @arnesottolo
Your app is great : simple, clean and so fast. Very good work ?
For your information I think I find a bug : if you long press on a tag for editing and you save without any changes, the color is reset to default (I mean the green when you create a tag).

Can it sync notes from Google keep? Coz all my notes are saved in keep . if not can this ability be added?

Thanks for the great app.

But how about the function ‘easily add Date and Time‘ like the GNotes. It‘s so useful but only GNotes have this function.

Sorry for bad english.
