Editor's Overview

LibreNotes is a note application developed by Piliii, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.2 weighing in at 8.76 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 8.76 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Piliii" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

LibreNotes is a private, self-hosted note-taking app with end-to-end encryption. Your notes are stored only on your own server — no cloud accounts, no third-party services, no tracking.

Features:
- Markdown notes with live preview
- End-to-end encryption (XChaCha20-Poly1305 + Argon2id): the server never sees your plaintext or keys
- Offline-first: full local cache, works without network, syncs when your server is reachable
- Conflict resolution: if two devices edit the same note, you choose the winner
- Trash bin with restore and permanent delete
- Dark theme with orange accent
- Works on Android, Linux desktop, and web from the same codebase

The sync server is a single compiled binary you run on a home server. It binds to your LAN only. For access away from home, add devices and the server to a Tailscale or WireGuard mesh — no server changes needed.

All source code is AGPLv3. No proprietary dependencies, no Firebase, no Google Play Services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LibreNotes free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does LibreNotes require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is LibreNotes safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Piliii. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update LibreNotes?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
