Oct 31, 2026 3.2.2

Notes Tech 3.2.2 is a security fix. 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; 3.2.2 reaches F-Droid a few days after this release, once F-Droid has built it. - **Installed from GitHub?** Any APK below updates 3.2.1, 3.2.0, 3.1.x, 3.0.0 or a 2.0.x in place. ## Fixed - **The selection toolbar of the title, search and vault fields offered other apps' text actions**, and each of them received the selected text. Android lets any app add such an action, under any name; before Android 11 every installed app could. They are gone on every Android version, as they already were in the note body. The toolbar keeps Cut, Copy, Paste and Select all. ("Translate", which looked text up online, has been off since 3.1.1.)

One loss to state: Android's **Read aloud** no longer appears in that toolbar; it stays reachable through its accessibility shortcut. Nothing else changes: same features as 3.2.1, still **no network permission**, the same 4 permissions. ## Which APK should I download? - **`notes-tech-universel-3.2.2.apk`**: works on every phone. **If in doubt, pick this one.** - **`notes-tech-arm64-v8a-3.2.2.apk`**: almost every phone since 2016, smaller. - **`notes-tech-armeabi-v7a-3.2.2.apk`**: older 32-bit phones. - **`notes-tech-x86_64-3.2.2.apk`**: emulators. ## Integrity check (SHA-256) Signing certificate SHA-256: `ddb385dee3a416aad9fe5a46173e3684e0762dc433c7e8de6db48f64ede642e9` **`notes-tech-universel-3.2.2.apk`** ``` 58408a3d2fd8ff19001d409cb41265246177e794c45fa0ff821ac67c1d6eb854 ``` **`notes-tech-arm64-v8a-3.2.2.apk`** ``` f6c42690297c196542abb8c469dac57eaed1ddc03e428c615ed353e845ae5228 ``` **`notes-tech-armeabi-v7a-3.2.2.apk`** ``` 1a9465e27400aa1d5da6e88432caf701ba52bf4e27b790e5285571bc619684a3 ``` **`notes-tech-x86_64-3.2.2.apk`** ``` 0f0240663050f1b64dfcbb4689d4aab1cfab80d3b833699c91fd2d3ed32ea164 ``` --- ## Français Notes Tech 3.2.2 est un correctif de sécurité. 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 3.2.2 y arrive quelques jours après cette release. **Installée depuis GitHub ?** Tout APK ci-dessus met à jour sur place. **Corrigé** : la barre de sélection des champs de titre, de recherche et de coffre proposait les actions de texte d'autres applications, et chacune recevait le texte sélectionné. Android laisse toute application ajouter une telle action, sous n'importe quel nom ; avant Android 11, toutes les applications installées le pouvaient. Elles disparaissent sur toutes les versions d'Android, comme déjà dans le corps de la note. Restent Couper, Copier, Coller, Tout sélectionner. (« Traduire », qui cherchait le texte en ligne, est coupé depuis la 3.1.1.) Une perte à signaler : la **Lecture à voix haute** d'Android n'apparaît plus dans cette barre ; elle reste accessible par son raccourci d'accessibilité. Rien d'autre ne change : toujours **aucune permission réseau**, les mêmes 4 permissions.
Oct 30, 2026 3.2.1

Notes Tech 3.2.1 is a bug-fix release. 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; 3.2.1 reaches F-Droid a few days after this release, once F-Droid has built it. - **Installed from GitHub?** Any APK below updates 3.2.0, 3.1.x, 3.0.0 or a 2.0.x in place. ## Fixed - **Two quick taps on a note's back arrow left a blank white screen** — the second tap, during the closing animation, left the note list too. It was there in 3.1.1 and 3.2.0; Back closed the app and nothing was lost. A screen that is leaving no longer navigates.

- **A quick double tap on "New note" created a second, empty note**, and a double tap on a note opened it twice. Nothing else changes: same features as 3.2.0, still **no network permission**, the same 4 permissions. ## Which APK should I download? - **`notes-tech-universel-3.2.1.apk`**: works on every phone. **If in doubt, pick this one.** - **`notes-tech-arm64-v8a-3.2.1.apk`**: almost every phone since 2016, smaller. - **`notes-tech-armeabi-v7a-3.2.1.apk`**: older 32-bit phones. - **`notes-tech-x86_64-3.2.1.apk`**: emulators. ## Integrity check (SHA-256) Signing certificate SHA-256: `ddb385dee3a416aad9fe5a46173e3684e0762dc433c7e8de6db48f64ede642e9` **`notes-tech-universel-3.2.1.apk`** ``` aaae30a2c6c12d1ec73fb05dfb85a255ca91ead1a6297e6f1e2213a39a5cde93 ``` **`notes-tech-arm64-v8a-3.2.1.apk`** ``` 78cad2ef4e1ff830acd95e7fbfc2ef246b9ecd5fd4043d15614da1a99bf674ec ``` **`notes-tech-armeabi-v7a-3.2.1.apk`** ``` b779e72e1876b9964ce37919570f7a87c79bc4725c16cd003bcb10ca0852abbb ``` **`notes-tech-x86_64-3.2.1.apk`** ``` 6cdd12c9e2a67eae72485db5ed253c45a6c417897303e25befaca61806aa1976 ```
