Notable is an unobtrusive elegant Android reminder app
What do you do if you need to be reminded of something? Do you use a note taking application on your smartphone, a notepad or calendar that you carry around with you at all times, or do you trust your brain to do all the heavy lifting and reminding?
I'm not a huge fan of note taking apps on phones for a number of reasons. The core reason being that it is usually necessary to run the app when you want to add new notes which also means that leave any other app that you are currently running on your system.
Notable for Google Android offers an unobtrusive elegant solution that does not get in your way. How it manages that? By integrating itself into the notification system of the phone. You probably know that you can display recent notifications by swiping down from the very top. Here you see the most recent notifications and since it is an overlay screen, do not leave the application you are currently using.
To display all notes simply swipe down to display all recent notifications. The notes are automatically displayed on top so that they are always in view. You can tap on the icon in front of a note to remove it from the notification area, use the edit link to edit the last reminder you have added, or scroll all the way done for an option to add a new reminder right from the menu.
Each new reminder consists of an icon that you select during setup and a message that you can enter using the device's keyboard or by voice.
Notable is a basic reminder app in terms of information you can add to each note. You can't add dates or times unless you add them as text, and you also can't have them expired automatically at a set date which would really be useful for certain types of reminders.
The developer of the app plans to integrate Google Tasks synchronization in a future version which would certainly improve the application considerable.
Verdict
Notable adds an elegant note taking option to Android phones it is running on. The biggest feature right now is its accessibility from and use of the system's notification history. Adding notes on top there however also means that you may need to scroll down to access notifications.
Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
