Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

ChkNote is a simple and small Android app for taking notes and, optionally, combine the notes with a checklist. Each note consists of a number of checkboxes and a free text area. For example, you could create a "Grocery Shopping List" note, where you define the items you often purchase as checkboxes, and use the free text area to write down any "one-time" purchases. For each individual note you can configure how much of the screen will be occupied by the checkbox area and the free text area respectively - from 0 to 100%. ChkNote does not require any permissions.
