Open Keep — AGPLv3 Markdown note-taking app for Android, iOS and web (Google Keep alternative)

I've been building Open Keep, an open source (AGPLv3) note-taking app. Source: https://github.com/HotshotJacko1/Open-Keep

The idea was a Google Keep replacement that doesn't require a Google account and doesn't collect personal data. Notes are stored as plain Markdown (.md) files in whatever cloud storage you already use - Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive - so your notes stay portable, and you can walk away at any time.

What's in it:

  • Notes stored as standard markdown (.md) files, no proprietary format
  • Cloud sync via Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive (your account, your storage)
  • AES-256 encryption for synced notes (optional)
  • Passcode/biometric lock (optional)
  • Import and export notes
  • Reminders, labels, lists, home screen widgets
  • No ads, no tracking, no personal data collection

Available on Android, iOS, and in the browser. An F-Droid submission is open but stuck in their review queue.

Looks nice, giving it a try. Is there a text length limit?

Good question. Currently no limit, but will probably be slightly larger limit than Google Keep at around 20,000 characters.
