## What it is
Nextcloud Notes for Android is the official Android client for the Nextcloud Notes server app, letting users create, edit, and sync markdown notes with their self-hosted Nextcloud instance. It is a mature open-source mobile app distributed via Google Play and F-Droid.

## Use cases
- take notes on my phone and sync them to my nextcloud server
- android app for nextcloud notes
- edit markdown notes offline and sync later
- self-hosted note taking app for android
- quick note widget on my android home screen
- replace google keep with a self-hosted notes app

## When to choose
- you already run a Nextcloud instance with the Notes app and want mobile access
- you want a free, open-source, self-hosted note-taking app on Android
- you need offline editing with background sync of markdown notes

## When to avoid
- you do not use Nextcloud or a compatible Notes API server
- you need rich-text or multimedia notes rather than plain markdown
- you need an iOS or desktop client - this is Android only
