RedBill NoteFree notes app for Windows with Google Drive backup
RedBill Note is a free, private notes app for Windows 10 and 11. Organize notes with categories and tags, build checklists and tables, set reminders, keep version history and back everything up to your own Google Drive — with no account and no third-party servers.
What is RedBill Note?
RedBill Note is a free Windows desktop notes application from RedBill.app. It keeps your notes on your own PC and backs them up to your own Google Drive, so no account, sign-up or third-party server is involved.
Notes are organized into unlimited categories and tags, and can contain checklists, tables, images, video, audio recordings and attached files. Markdown-style typing, note templates, smart search, reminders with Windows notifications and a global Ctrl+Shift+N quick-note hotkey make it fast to capture and find information.
A version history checkpoint is saved about every 10 minutes while you edit, deleted notes stay in Trash for 30 days, and an optional PIN lock protects private notes.
