    [DEV] After a long private beta, Bundled Notes is now available for all. It's a new note-taking, list making, reminders and to-do app, designed for Android first (with a web app around the corner). It features instant syncing, rich markdown text-editing, OLED/dark themes, a unique design and more!

    You could use Bundled for simple purposes, like a modern Google Keep substitute with rich text editing, or you could use it for custom use cases, like keeping journals, recipes, writing articles, movies & TV watchlists, creating personal Kanban-esque boards with the tagging system, and much more.

    Videos speak a billion, trillion words so here's one that shows the look and feel of the app, and a small preview of the kind of settings you can change to make each bundle: https://imgur.com/a/aEwLwgb

    Features include but definitely aren't limited to:

    • A unique, powerful architecture for organising notes.
    • Instant online, cross-device syncing (edit: but works the same offline!)
    • A web app coming before the beta finishes (⭐pro)
    • Free syncing between Android devices.
    • A native markdown editor with What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get formatting (+ a formatting bar!).
    • A rich tagging system, with filtering, to-do tags, and custom to-do actions.
    • Light, dark and OLED themes.
    • Permanent, one-time (free) and recurring reminders (⭐pro)
    • Pin notes to notifications.
    • Grid, card and compact options.
    • Manual, edited time, created time, alphabetical and tag-based sort orders.
    • A beautiful interface and animations.

    The free version has the vast majority of features available without ads, even syncing between Android devices, but there's a limit on the number of bundles you can create and the number of notes within each, the web app and recurring reminders are also pro only features. I explain this, and my rationale for the payment model ($1.89 monthly subscription) in more detail here.

    Major features planned for the future:

    • Shared bundles (public and to specific users/emails)
    • Private Bundles with passwords/E2E encryption (bundles are already encrypted at rest + TLS in transit, but not client side).
    • Image and file attachments in bundles.

    Two things worth noting, security-wise and the Google Login: all of your content is encrypted at rest, and via TLS/HTTPS during transit - for many this isn't enough, so if you like the app but want client-side encryption, private E2E encrypted bundles are in the plans. As for the Google authentication method, email and password + Apple ID login is planned very shortly. If you want to wait for either of these things feel free to comment here or DM me and I'll reach out to you when they're available.

    Hope you enjoy the app and the design! It's been a long time in the making. In case anyone used Redirect File Organizer 6 or so years ago, this is the first app I've released since then!

    Edit: just realised the title makes it seem as though the app is out of beta! It's still in beta but fully functional. Features I have to work through before I completely leave beta are translation, imports/exports and polishing up existing features!

    Want dark mode for the Google App and Google Assistant without 3rd party apps, a Pixel phone, or commands? Well, I found a very easy way to get it.

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 10:55 AM PDT

    1: Turn your phone off. This is a necessary step that will make sense later. (Turning off does not mean shutting down for this. Just press the power button.)

    2: Activate Google Assistant by saying "OK Google."

    3: When the Assistant pops up, tap out of it to get back to the lock screen. There should be a notification from the Google App.

    4: Double tap on the notification to open it, and unlock your phone if/when it prompts you too. (If it doesn't ask you to unlock and/or it doesn't go into the settings, try again from step 1.)

    5: You should be in the Google Assistant settings now. Go to "General" and scroll down until you see "Theme."

    6: Select the dark theme.

    7: That's it! Enjoy dark mode!

    OnePlus 8 (Pro): All specs and details

    I'm the developer behind Distance Together (the social distancing tracker), here to address your concerns!

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 10:02 AM PDT

    Hey /r/android!

    This is in response to https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/fvk2i5/found_an_app_to_see_how_well_your_city_is/

    I've been a long time lurker on here and was pretty surprised to see my app - Distance Together, got posted here. However there was a bit of controversy developed and I wanted to give a bit of background on the app and answer any questions people had on the thread.

    Background: I'm a university student whose classes were put on hold for a week due to COVID-19. During the week I though it would be cool to build some sort of social distancing tracker with a community aspect to it. I was really inspired by the app Zero where people can commit to a fast together and though something similar could be done for social distancing. The app became a way for people to log their social distancing time and see how many others are "in it together" with them across the globe. Overall, the motivation was just to encourage people to stay home.

    Location Data: The app allows you to see where people are social distancing worldwide and uses your current location to figure out the number of people distancing in your city. I completely understand concerns from people that do not want to have their location known. It is completely optional and not a requirement to share this data with the app. I've added an additional popup to explain this and allow people to opt out of sharing their location completely.

    Google's COVID-19 Reports: These reports are very cool, I love how big tech companies are stepping up and using their resources to help out in this pandemic. My app is more focused on the community side of things and encouraging people with awards and kudos to stay in.

    Please let me know if you guys have any questions or feature requests, I'd love to hear them!

    Stay Safe :)
