Take beautiful markdown notes and stay organized with task lists. Fork of Quillnote
This is one I’ve been experimenting with lately.
I’ve been using this since it was forked. It hasn’t had activity in a bit though. It’s something to look at for sure, especially if they stick to their roadmap , it could be an interesting Joplin alternative.
I would hold off for the moment, though, until some thing stuff starts getting implemented, or activity starts up again.

So we’ve been testing this for a while now, we do like it. Would be nice if this worked though
opened 04:17PM - 15 Jan 23 UTC

Quillpad: 1.4.6 (F-Droid)
Android: GrapheneOS (AOSP 13)
#### Description
… Reminders do not work at all. Likely due to Android 13 notification permission, for quillpad it is greyed out and can not be enabled.
#### STR
1. Create new note and give it a title
2. Set Reminder for it one minute
3. Close app
#### Expected Behaviour
Get Notification as with Quillnote.
#### Actually Behaviour
Nothing.
As indicated in the issue, this is perhaps an issue with the fact that Quillpad doesn’t declare the Notification permission despite targeting Android 13:
As an example, you can see how Accrescent request this permission here:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions,QueryAllPackagesPermission">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DELETE_PACKAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.UPDATE_PACKAGES_WITHOUT_USER_ACTION" />
<application
android:name=".Accrescent"
android:dataExtractionRules="@xml/backup_rules"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
This, combined with the fact that I’m not seeing a lot of very recent activity makes me think we should wait and see.

Any updates?
Here’s a review from Mar 4, 2023
A fork of Quillnote, this one is also an open-source, free, fast note-taking app with support for Markdown, images, and Nextcloud sync!

I have someone who has been using this extensively. Kind of curious to know when 1.5 will be ready .
I do like the direction of this ie being able to “store markdown files in the device” and eventually eventually encryption .
