Description

From the listing uploaded by “vettobox”.

Notes by Firefox is a simple, secure notepad app that syncs with Firefox. It’s the first Android Test Pilot experiment from Mozilla, the makers of Firefox. To use Notes, you’ll need a Firefox Account, and the free Notes browser extension from Firefox Test Pilot. Simple * A simple notepad to create a to-do list, take a memo, or capture a brilliant idea. * Notes automatically sync between your Android device and Firefox for desktop. Read, edit, or delete notes on the go. Secure * Notes are synced with end-to-end encryption using your Firefox Account. Trusted * Made by Mozilla. We believe everyone should have control over their lives online. That’s what we’ve been fighting for since 1998.
