Notes, lists, sketches and voice in one
Notes is where you jot down ideas, checklists, sketches, document scans and voice notes. You can lock private notes with your screen lock, and voice notes can be turned into text right on the phone.

Scan a page into a note, with automatic edge finding and colour or black and white looks.
Draw with your finger, or add photos from the camera or your gallery.
Lock a note so only your screen lock can open it, with a recovery key.
Organise notes into folders, sort them and search them.
A Quick Note tile, home screen widget and shortcuts for a new note, checklist, scan, sketch or voice note.
Deleted notes can be recovered for 30 days, and you can export a note as Markdown.
Up and running in three steps.
- Tap the pencil to start a note, or hold it to start a voice note.
- Add a checklist, photo, scan or sketch as you go.
- Lock anything private from the note's ⋯ menu.
Notes has no internet access, so notes never leave the phone; voice transcription runs on the phone through Recorder, which downloads the speech model once.
