TinyNotes

All your lists in one place

A to-do list, a shopping list and free-form notes in one clean app. No account, no ads, works offline.

Features

Everything everyday lists need - and nothing more.

Tasks and categories

Group tasks into your own categories, give each one an icon and a color, and drag them into the order you want. Star the important ones to filter them.

Calendar and reminders

Give a task a reminder time, an all-day reminder, or a daily, weekly or monthly repeat. The month calendar shows open tasks day by day.

Location reminders

Get reminded when you arrive somewhere - like "start the laundry" when you get home. Works even while the app is closed.

Your own shopping lists

Create lists per store, recipe or weekday, pick a food icon, and optionally the date the groceries are needed by.

Barcode scanning

Add a product to the shopping list by scanning the barcode with your camera. The product name comes from the Open Food Facts database.

Product info and prices

Save the manufacturer and prices per store for a product. The record is shared, so an edit shows up everywhere the product is used.

Notes and attachments

Write free-form notes, add tags, and attach images, links and PDF files. The image viewer supports zoom and swipe.

Home screen widget

Choose the widget content, style, row count and background opacity. Check a task off straight from the home screen.

Colors and themes

Pick a background color, light or dark mode, and your own colors for the header, the bottom bar and every category.

Search everything

One search covers tasks, shopping lists and notes. Tap a result to edit it directly.

Share into the app

Share text, links, images and PDF files from other apps into TinyNotes and fill in the details before saving.

Backup and export

All data and attachments in a single zip file, and back again even on a new phone. Lists can also be exported as text.

A reminder in exactly the right place

Not everything is best remembered by the clock. Give a task a place, and the reminder arrives when you are there.

  • Pick the place on the map or use your current location
  • A radius of 100, 250 or 500 metres, plus an optional earliest time
  • Your location stays on your device - it is never sent anywhere

Premium

Scan a barcode, the product lands on your list

No typing in the store. Scan the barcode on the package and the product is added to the list, name included.

  • Product name from the Open Food Facts database
  • Keep the manufacturer and price history per store
  • Products you bought before are suggested again, most-used first
