What SecNotes is
SecNotes is an Android app for storing personal information in notes, spreadsheets, and checklists. Users can arrange items in folders and subfolders and protect them with a password, PIN, or pattern lock. The maker says notes are stored using AES128 encryption. The notepad includes formatting, image and video attachments, reminders, text-to-speech, themes, and custom fonts. Spreadsheet tools include formulas, cell formatting, and row and column editing. Checklists can be sorted, have items added or removed, and check for duplicates; they also support reminders and automatic completion when all items are checked. The app lists Cloud and Dropbox backups, while its app listing also describes SD card backup and restore. Cloud-backed notes can be viewed and edited in a browser, and shared notes can be edited by up to 10 people, with changes synced to everyone sharing. The listing describes text and CSV import and export to SD card as text, HTML, or XLS. Premium features include browser editing, shared notes, premium cloud backup, XLSX and PDF export, printing, password recovery, and ad removal.
