The Android application neutriNote is a powerful note taking application that supports math (LaTeX), rich markdown, and drawings among other things.

Many Android devices come with basic note taking functionality, and a new application needs to offer something that these default applications don't offer to stand a chance.

The free application neutriNote does that, but is still easy enough to use for basic note taking without all the fancy stuff added to it.

The application is free, does not have advertisement or a premium version that it requires users to purchase to get all the functionality it offers. Permissions too are reasonable and explained on the Google Play page the application is listed on.

Once you start the application you can start taking notes right away. Before you do however, I suggest you visit the application's settings as you may find a couple of customization options there that you may want to check out.

Some of the more interesting options include toggling auto saving and incremental backup functionality, switching to a dark theme, or enabling the storing of location data.

You find plenty of advanced options in the settings of the application as well. Create custom filters, use your own parser for mathematics, or install some of the add-ons that have been created for the application.

A total of four add-ons are available right now of which one, backup+ is free to add  while the remaining three are paid add-ons.

The user interface of the note taking part is as straightforward as it gets. You can hide some interface elements for extra space, and use menus at the top or bottom to access some of the advanced options that neutriNote supports.

While you can add text of all kinds to the app, you can also use markdown, tables, math formulas, add images, links, or even drawings.  If you use markdown, you can switch between markdown and plain text view with the tap on a button.

The bottom toolbar requires some explaining as it may not be clear to all users that you can scroll it to display additional tools. Once you swipe to the left, you get a new set of tools the application supports; for instance options to add an image captured with the device's camera, or using the built-in barcode scanner.

Other options that you find there include searching for words in your mobile browser of choice, taking photos from the device's gallery, or loading drawing mode.

You may also use Google Now to dictate directly to neutriNote, use the application's text expansion functionality, or use batch select options to improve your productivity while using the app.

The application supports full text search across all notes, and you may filter by custom filters, location, metadata or date/time as well.

Power users may find some of the advanced functionality that neutriNote ships with useful. It is for instance possible to add your own metadata, custom styles, and change advanced preferences as well.

Verdict

neutriNote is a powerful, well designed note taking application for Android. The advanced features will take some getting used to time, as will the various options the application displays in its interface. You can check out the help file here for information on general functionality and advanced features that the application supports.

    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.

    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.

    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.
