Simple Android markdown notes app with folders, offline-first. This libre edition is offline only: it has no cloud sync and requests no network permission.

This is the libre build of MarkNotes, published on [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.maxdac.marknotes.libre/)
and on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/MaxDac/marknotes-android/releases): free software only, built from source,

- **Appearance** (Settings): theme **System** (default), **Light** or **Dark**, and an accent colour chosen
from 8 palettes or **Dynamic** (Material You, Android 12+).
- **No cloud sync**: the notes stay on this device as plain `.md` files, so you can back them up or copy them
yourself. Two-way sync (Dropbox, OneDrive, Proton Drive) with the same note format is in
[MarkNotes Plus](https://github.com/MaxDac/MarkNotes), which builds on this repo's `:core` and `:app-shared`
modules. Versions before 0.2.0 shipped Dropbox sync here.
- **Delete local data** (Settings → Privacy): **Delete all local data** disconnects every drive, then deletes the
notes, images, sync state and cached files stored on this device. When you disconnect the last drive you can
also tick **Also delete the notes stored on this device**. Nothing is ever deleted from a drive: the deletion is
local only and is not synced.
- **Offline only**: the notes stay on this device as plain `.md` files, so you can back them up or copy them
yourself. The APK requests no network permission (`INTERNET` and `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` are removed).
- **Delete local data** (Settings → Privacy): **Delete all local data** deletes the notes, images and cached files
stored on this device (and any state left by versions before 0.2.0).

The app is fully local and every dependency is free software, so it has no anti-features.

- Rotate or resize the window: no crash, no lost edit.

For MarkNotes Plus (the `libre/` submodule checkout in MaxDac/MarkNotes) also check that the drives UI is back
and that Dropbox sign-in returns through the `db-<key>` redirect.
