- Nov 9, 2026 3.3.0Notes Tech 3.3.0 brings an archive, the selection of several notes, and the cursor where you write — the three suggestions of #48. Your notes, folders and vaults are kept. ## Before you update - **Installed from F-Droid? Wait for F-Droid.** F-Droid builds and signs Notes Tech with its own key, so these APKs cannot update an F-Droid install; 3.3.0 reaches F-Droid a few days after this release, once F-Droid has built it. - **Installed from GitHub?** Any APK below updates 3.2.x, 3.1.x, 3.0.0 or a 2.0.x in place. ## New - **Archive** — a new entry in the menu, next to the Trash. An archived note leaves its folder, "All notes" and the search, and stays in the archive, grouped by month, where it opens and is edited like any other. Archive and Unarchive are also in a note's ⋮ menu.
More…
- **Select several notes** — a long press selects a note, a tap adds others, or "Select all". Then archive, move, trash (with Undo), pin, mark as favorite, color or delete permanently, all at once. A gesture writes all the selected notes or none of them. A note of a locked vault is selected only once its vault is open, and moving sealed notes out of their vault asks the same question as the editor. - **The cursor where you write** — a new note, or one opened with Edit, gets the cursor in its body and the keyboard at once. - **Back closes the open drawer** instead of leaving the app. The long press of 3.1.0 (edit, trash, delete permanently) is now the selection's: with one note selected, "Edit" is in its ⋮ menu. Nothing else changes: still **no network permission**, the same 4 permissions. ## Which APK should I download? - **`notes-tech-universel-3.3.0.apk`**: works on every phone. **If in doubt, pick this one.** - **`notes-tech-arm64-v8a-3.3.0.apk`**: almost every phone since 2016, smaller. - **`notes-tech-armeabi-v7a-3.3.0.apk`**: older 32-bit phones. - **`notes-tech-x86_64-3.3.0.apk`**: emulators. ## Integrity check (SHA-256) Signing certificate SHA-256: `ddb385dee3a416aad9fe5a46173e3684e0762dc433c7e8de6db48f64ede642e9` **`notes-tech-universel-3.3.0.apk`** ``` 280516bb6e75dbededc6d1a893184158fa3d6d72ad778724639632148c6678e6 ``` **`notes-tech-arm64-v8a-3.3.0.apk`** ``` e62dbfc74ff2da57fe54493c348ddfc0350872a905fcf3c6244a06b999c6b41b ``` **`notes-tech-armeabi-v7a-3.3.0.apk`** ``` e075720ab5d6ceed38737098d425ac3dccd84d4f5085b49e35088963374b4e8c ``` **`notes-tech-x86_64-3.3.0.apk`** ``` 44866dd0dbed6149804d3b650b2546e77814331e742e904628dbab7fadc0cf9a ``` --- ## Français Notes Tech 3.3.0 apporte des Archives, la sélection de plusieurs notes et le curseur là où l'on écrit — les trois suggestions de #48. Vos notes, dossiers et coffres sont conservés. **Installée depuis F-Droid ? Attendez F-Droid** : il construit et signe Notes Tech avec sa propre clé, ces APK ne peuvent pas mettre à jour son installation ; la 3.3.0 y arrive quelques jours après cette release. **Installée depuis GitHub ?** Tout APK ci-dessus met à jour sur place. **Nouveau** : - **Archives** : une nouvelle entrée du menu, près de la Corbeille. Une note archivée quitte son dossier, « Toutes les notes » et la recherche, et reste dans les Archives, classée par mois, où elle s'ouvre et se modifie comme les autres. Archiver et Désarchiver figurent aussi dans le menu ⋮ d'une note. - **Sélectionner plusieurs notes** : un appui long sélectionne une note, un toucher en ajoute d'autres, ou « Tout sélectionner ». Puis archiver, déplacer, mettre à la corbeille (avec Annuler), épingler, mettre en favori, colorer ou supprimer définitivement, d'un coup. Un geste écrit toutes les notes sélectionnées ou aucune. Une note de coffre ne se sélectionne qu'une fois son coffre ouvert ; sortir des notes scellées de leur coffre pose la même question que l'éditeur. - **Le curseur là où l'on écrit** : une nouvelle note, ou une note ouverte par Éditer, reçoit le curseur dans son corps et le clavier d'emblée. - **Retour ferme le tiroir ouvert** au lieu de quitter l'appli. L'appui long de la 3.1.0 (éditer, corbeille, supprimer définitivement) est désormais celui de la sélection : avec une seule note sélectionnée, « Éditer » est dans son menu ⋮. Rien d'autre ne change : toujours **aucune permission réseau**, les mêmes 4 permissions.
