Getting Started
What is QuKi Notes?
QuKi Notes is a scratchpad and pasteboard — a blank canvas when you open it. Type a thought, draft a message, jot a list, dump a link. Use the content right there, send it somewhere, or let it drift into the list as newer things arrive. There is no vault, no folder structure, no organization ritual.
Platforms
Available on Android, Windows, and Linux. iOS and macOS are not yet available.
Installation
Download the latest release from GitHub Releases.
- Android: install the
.apkdirectly, or sideload via ADB. - Windows: extract and run the bundled
.exe. - Linux: extract and run the bundled binary.
First launch
On first launch you will see a one-time setup screen asking where to store your QuKis:
- Filesystem storage — QuKis are stored in an accessible location on your device (a folder you pick on desktop;
Documents/QuKi_Noteson Android). Files are visible in your file manager and survive uninstall. Recommended. - App storage — QuKis are stored in the app's private directory. Files are not accessible via file manager and are deleted on uninstall. A warning is shown in Settings when this is active.
This screen appears once. You can change the location later in Settings → Storage.
After choosing, the editor opens — blank, cursor ready. Start typing.
Your QuKi saves automatically as you type. When you are done, send it somewhere or leave it — it will be in your QuKis list when you return.
Navigation at a glance
The editor is home. It does not have a back button.
In the editor top bar:
- QuKis icon (top left) — opens your QuKis list
- Type icon — switch between live-preview and plain-text mode
- + icon — start a new QuKi
- Menu (three-line icon, top right) — Send..., QuKis, Settings
