OxNotes Pro
One-time purchase, no subscription. The price is shown by Google Play.
Your notes never depend on the purchase. Opening a protected note, removing its protection, exporting your notebook and restoring a backup remain possible without Pro.
Unlimited protected notes
- App-wide lock, title hidden by default, screenshots blocked.
- Opened with fingerprint, face, device code or a 64-character recovery key.
Without a usable key or the recovery key, a protected note or an encrypted backup cannot be recovered: OxNotes has no server.
Google Drive
- Private folder in your account, invisible in Drive.
- Manual, or automatic: every hour, 6 hours, daily or weekly; Wi-Fi only as an option.
- Backups encrypted before upload, one recovery key to keep. Photos, drawings and recordings included, as you choose.
- Restore with preview, merge or replace, on another phone. Possible without Pro.
- Backup, not sync. Several generations are kept; you can delete the Drive copies.
Full organization
- Unlimited labels, folders, archive and combined filters.
- Label and folder names remain visible for protected notes.
Text in your photos

- Analyzed on your phone, without a connection, for the Latin alphabet.
