Editor's Overview

NotePad is a note application developed by Trevin Beattie, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.7 weighing in at 1.87 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 1.87 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Trevin Beattie" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

A simple and intuitive notepad based on the app bundled with Palm Pilot.

  • Entirely offline, requiring few permissions to run.

    • Permission to use external storage is only needed to back up or
      restore your notes on Marshmallow (Android 6) and older.

    • The following permissions are added by WorkManager, a Google
      library used to run the export, import, and password re-encryption
      operations in the background when initiated by the user. The core
      app does not use these on its own.

      • Permission to run a foreground service, added on Pie (Android 9)
        and later.

      • Permission to view network connections, used by WorkManager to
        determine the best time to schedule background tasks.

      • Permission to prevent the phone from sleeping, used by WorkManager
        to keep the processor awake while a background task is running.

      • Permission to run at startup, used by WorkManager to reschedule
        any pending background task after the phone is rebooted.



  • Create any number of categories for different notes.

  • Mark notes as private and optionally encrypt them with a password.

  • Export notes to a local XML file.

  • Import notes from an XML file.

  • Backwards compatible with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NotePad free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does NotePad require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is NotePad safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Trevin Beattie. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update NotePad?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
