About Papyrus Ex
Simple notepad with a list of short text notes.
General features:
- The notes are stored as a text files (txt, UTF-8).
- No need to import/export the notes before ROM upgrade or transfer the notes files to the computer or from the computer.
- If the notes are stored on a removable storage card, in the case of the device failure your notes will still be available by inserting the storage card into a card reader of your computer.
This is a remake of the 'Papyrus' application by Chris Lathan with some additional features:
- The first line of a note may contain any symbols, included ones, which are restricted by filesystem (?, /, *, etc.).
- Name of a note is automatically changes to reflect the first note line after modification.
- Ellipsis added to the end of a note name, if the note contains more than one line.
- Mode for autodetection of web-links, e-mails and phone numbers in the notes. The note modifications disabled while the mode active.
- Note editor will not close if the modifications cannot be saved into a file. In this case, you can copy your modifications and save them by hand.
- Option to cancel modifications to a note.
- Notes list may be sorted by name, not by date only.
- Ability to use subdirectories.
- Ability to encrypt notes (AES-256). The first non-empty line of a note is not encrypted.
- Search for note names and plain text notes content including subdirectories. Ability to save search strings to quick search for them again. Regular expressions allowed.
- Automatic detection of location of removable storage card if a corresponding option selected in the preferences.
This application is not a reader nor text processor. It is not intended to open big text files as well as it will not play music or show photos. Please, do not rate this application if you need features, which the application is not intended for.
Do not try to get support via Market Reviews, use e-mail instead.

Extremely easy to use, perfect for making notes of any lenght. Each note is saved as a .txt file so you can easily copy them to other devices. Without a doubt the most practical notes app around. Warm recommendation.

Would feel happier if the author makes compatible .jar file for Windows OS. Also base64 encoding is preferred to reduce file size. Option to save password in App's /data/data folder would be appreciated to avoid frequent entry of my long password. Thanks.

I like this program because it has a small footprint, loads quickly and is very straightforward to operate. My initial enthusiasm has been dampened somewhat. I found that although the description said regular expressions could be used in search, I have not been able to get that to work. Additionally, you can create subdirectories, but moving up a level in a subdirectory has been inconsistent. There is no help file that I can find and two emails to his support have not garnered a response.

I appreciate this application for its simplicity and effectiveness. It is very intuitive and allows me to capture information and ideas in meetings with others and myself. The ability to search and quickly locate information in the future gives me incredible followup edge. Thanks for adding more hours to my day!!

It may be older but it still delivers in a big way. Tried dozens of note-taking apps & this still blows the majority of them away because it's so well laid out, has a great UI and functions without any lags, cache buildup or force closes of the phone - something few newer apps can claim. Like Papyrus itself, this is a timeless classic in a world of poor imitators. Nuff Said!

Excellent excellent app. Is there a way that I could flag certain notes or folders so that they can automatically send any modifications made to my Email? Maybe even set the modification intervals to every hour to prevent email flooding. Thanks for the great app.
