Offline Markdown notes synchronized safely with Nextcloud

QOwnNotes is an offline-capable Markdown notes app for Android that synchronizes with your own Nextcloud server. The Nextcloud Files Android app and a server with Nextcloud Notes API 1.2 or newer, provided by Nextcloud Notes or QOwnNotes for Nextcloud, are required for account setup. Nextcloud Files manages your login credentials. Its Single Sign-On library stores an account access token in QOwnNotes' private preferences, not in the notes database. Features include: * Read, search, create, rename, edit, and delete notes while offline * Conflict-safe synchronization using ETags and durable pending changes * CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown rendering and source editing * QOwnNotes wiki links, task states, note naming, subfolders, and favorites * Move or copy notes between subfolders and duplicate notes * Share notes through public Nextcloud links with password protection and optional editing * Reorder checklist blocks by dragging, or delete them with confirmation in the note preview * Note tags shared with QOwnNotes desktop, with tag filtering in the note list * Create, browse, search, edit, and archive Nextcloud Deck cards and insert card links * Safe remote images and authenticated Nextcloud note attachments * Home-screen widgets for note lists and selected notes * Browse, edit, and delete bookmarks offline, and insert images while editing notes * Record audio notes from the app or widget and play audio attachments in the app * Light and dark themes on Android 9 and newer * Browse and restore note versions and remote trash through QOwnNotes for Nextcloud or QOwnNotesAPI * Search across note versions with match counts, highlighted excerpts, and preview match navigation QOwnNotes contains no advertising, analytics, or developer-operated telemetry. Notes are stored on the device and synchronized only with the Nextcloud server selected by the user. Images load automatically when a note is opened. Remote HTTPS images contact the hosts referenced in the note, which can see your IP address and request metadata. The note menu's "Load images" toggle can disable image loading for the current view; it resets to enabled when the note is reopened. Nextcloud note attachments are loaded from your selected server through Single Sign-On.

    ## [26.11.0] - 2026-11-10 ### Added - Use a local folder without Nextcloud ([#47](https://github.com/qownnotes/qownnotes-android/issues/47)). Choose **Use a local folder** on the first screen, or **Add local folder** in the account menu or account management, to keep notes as Markdown files in a folder laid out like a QOwnNotes desktop note folder, for example one synchronized with Syncthing. Notes are edited offline, written to the files without a network connection, and refreshed from changes made by other programs, which become conflicts instead of

    being overwritten. Subfolders, images, attachments, audio notes, favorites, `notes.sqlite` tags, and a restorable trash are supported. Nextcloud accounts are unchanged. - **Refresh when opening the app** setting, enabled by default. Opening or returning to the app refreshes only the active account, skips synchronization already in progress, and waits five minutes between attempts, including failed attempts. Manual refresh remains immediate. ### Changed - Development and release deployment automatically prefer the sole ready USB-connected physical device, with a numbered device selector when the target is ambiguous and `ANDROID_SERIAL` overrides. - Update Gson and Android build, code-generation, formatting, and dependency-update tooling. - The account menu now says **Add Nextcloud account** next to the new **Add local folder** action. - The store listing and README show the setup screen with the choice between a Nextcloud account and a local folder, and describe local folders. - Split CI device tests into three app shards and a separate library job, preserving independent reports and replacing full-suite retries with bounded runs. Avoid duplicate Dependabot CI runs. ### Fixed - Nextcloud synchronization and account import failing with a `LinkedHashMap` cast error after the Gson update, by updating Nextcloud Single Sign-On to 1.3.5.
