Scrib: Encrypted Offline Notes

Scrib is an encrypted offline notepad for Android that keeps your notes private: no accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Every note is protected with AES-256 encryption, stored securely on your device using the Android Keystore system.

YOUR NOTES. YOUR DEVICE. YOUR BUSINESS.

Unlike notes apps that sync to the cloud, Scrib operates completely offline. Your encrypted notes never leave your phone. No internet connection required. No data collection. No accounts to create. Just open and write.

SWITCHING FROM ANOTHER NOTES APP?

Bring your notes with you. Scrib imports plain text and Markdown files, Google Keep exports, Simplenote exports, and Evernote exports, including zip archives. Duplicates are skipped automatically, so importing twice never doubles your notes.

SECURITY FEATURES

• AES-256 Encryption: every note is protected on your device with a hardware-backed key

• PIN Lock: lock the whole app with a PIN, with progressive brute-force protection

• Private Vault: a hidden, PIN-protected space for your most sensitive notes

• Hidden Notes: hide individual notes from your main list

• Per-Note Encryption: choose which notes get extra encryption protection

NOTEPAD FEATURES

• Folders: group notes and filter your list with one tap. Deleting a folder never deletes the notes inside, and you can turn folders off in Settings if you prefer one list.

• Checklists: turn any line into a checkbox and tap to check things off. Checklists mix with regular text in the same note.

• Text Colors: give any note its own text color, picked to stay readable in light and dark themes

• Find in Note: search inside long notes with highlighted matches

• Auto-Bullet Lists: start typing and Scrib handles the formatting

• Voice Input: dictate notes hands-free

• 44 Note Colors: color-code and organize your notes visually

• Trash System: recover deleted notes with configurable retention (7, 14, 30, 90 days, or never)

• Text Scaling: small, medium, or large text sizes for comfortable reading

CUSTOMIZATION

• Dark Theme, Light Theme, or System Default

• 16 Accent Colors

• Full Accessibility Support: screen readers, keyboard navigation, semantic labels

10 LANGUAGES

Scrib supports English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Chinese (Simplified) with automatic detection.

ZERO TRACKING. ZERO DATA COLLECTION.

Scrib has zero internet permissions. That means:

• No analytics

• No ads

• No telemetry

• No cloud sync

• No account required

• No data leaves your device

Your notes are encrypted, stored locally, and completely private. Scrib is the secure encrypted notepad that respects your privacy, because your notes are your business.
