What it does
Quillpad is an Android note-taking app with Markdown, notebooks, tags, task lists, pinned and hidden notes, reminders, voice recordings, and file attachments. Its official repository describes the project as fully free and open source, links to Google Play and F-Droid, and includes a GNU GPL version 3 license.
Keep small capture and reminders together
Quillpad's official project page describes a simple mobile workflow: write a Markdown note, place it in a notebook, add tags, and attach a related file or voice recording. Task lists and reminders can keep a note tied to a follow-up date, while pinned notes keep frequently needed items near the top. The repository links to both Google Play and F-Droid.
The project describes itself as free and open source; its license file contains GNU GPL v3. The repository's commit history showed an update on 2026-10-09, so this is not being included solely on the basis of an old app listing. The checked project documentation is Android-focused and does not establish a desktop client. No app, reminder, or attachment behavior was tested.
