amazing note app, better than Google keep
I haven't even used the app but it makes me want to rate it 5 stars already HAHAHAH. No cap I think I found the best note-taking app for general daily use. I'm currently using Google Keep and I love how they differentiate it to this HAHHAA. Thank youu.
Tbh I've been really loving the app everything is according to me plus no adds no disturbances. and the music feature ✨♥ Only one additional request I'd make is to add a feature so it can sync with our account.
It actually looks good, i love note taking apps and i think this app will go in my Best Tier apps..
Amazing app... The feel-good notes helped me to spend quality time contentedly and efficiently.
i tried many apps and found this one and loving it !
sick, probably one of the simplest yet best note taking app I discovered. although it's still in its early version, it's pretty good. a few suggestions is maybe integrating a smart AI system that auto sorts your notes or like understands them and help with suggestions. overall great app, love that it's free and no ads.
good one actually minimalist

About Bardo
Bardo is an Android note-taking app that combines convenience, privacy, and functionality. It includes a graph of connections, OCR, and speech-to-text features, all seamlessly integrated. Instant Note opens a new note as soon as you sign in. The app delivers a wide range of useful capabilities and, best of all, it is free with no ads or subscriptions.
We focus on the needs of our users, not on maximizing profit.
I designed Bardo carefully and originally built it for myself (as a developer) because I was not happy with Google Keep and could not find a good alternative. So I decided to create Bardo, my first app.
You will appreciate that it offers every useful feature you might need along with a terminal, Easter eggs, multiple themes, and a thoughtful design.
I explored every app on Google Play, even the paid ones. One day in an Apple store I tried Apple Notes on an iPhone, and that is when I came up with the idea to add a search bar to the main menu.
I gathered the features that felt genuinely useful from each app and then added my own ideas. That is how Bardo was born.
I really hope you enjoy the app, but if not, please feel free to email me at typexai@proton.me (I would love to hear your feedback).
ITIB — Integrated Terminal In Bardo
There is also a terminal in Bardo. It is called ITIB, which stands for Integrated Terminal In Bardo. So far, it is not particularly important in the application, but in the future, in Bardo 1.1 Beta, it will take on a new role. But for now, it is just there. If you want to learn its commands and how to use it, visit our website.

About Us
Who we are
We are TypexAI, a one-person team that believes in simple and elegant note-taking solutions.
Philosophy
We build tools that help you think rather than distract you. Bardo is a space for your ideas, not just another app filled with notifications.
Also, the user should only pay for what the developer spends.
For example, if it is a server that the developer pays for monthly or annually. Then the user must watch advertisements or purchase subscriptions. If there is no server, as in Bardo, then everything is free and without advertisements.
Donations
We also make a point of donating funds to those in need through ShareTheMeal. We believe that not everyone is fortunate enough to be born into favourable circumstances, which is why we donate money. To date, we have donated approximately €19 and distributed 154 meals between June 29 and September 8.
We will continue to make every effort to invest funds to support those in need. If you are also interested in helping people, you may wish to consider finding a suitable service and donating if you are able to do so.
Here is our report on Donations.
