Badnotes
Badnotes is a note-taking app for Android tablets and Windows. Write with a stylus, annotate PDFs, sketch on infinite whiteboards and keep everything organised in folders.
Features
- Pens, highlighter, shapes with curved lines and arrows, tape, text, tables and images
- Import PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets (CSV), images and zipped notes (including .goodnotes files), and export to PDF
- Tables with charts — column, bar, line, area, pie, doughnut, scatter and radar — that redraw as you edit the table
- Browser-style tabs: drag a tab onto the page to open two notebooks side by side
- Continuous scrolling or single-page swiping
- Optional backup and sync between your devices with your own Google Drive
- Offload notebooks to Google Drive to free up space, and download them again when you need them
Download
Version 1.0.0
Android: open the downloaded APK and allow your browser or file manager to install unknown apps when asked. Updates install over the existing app and keep your notes.
Windows: run BadnotesSetup.exe. It installs Badnotes for your account (no admin rights needed), adds Start menu and desktop shortcuts and opens the app; it runs in its own Microsoft Edge window. Windows may show a SmartScreen notice because the installer isn't signed: choose More info then Run anyway. Uninstall it from Settings > Apps.
Your notes, your Drive
Notes are stored on your device. If you choose to sign in with Google, Badnotes backs up and syncs your notes to a folder in your own Google Drive. It can only access the files it creates. Your notes never pass through Badnotes servers, and there are no ads and no analytics.
