I find myself frequently somewhere on the streets with an idea in my head but no paper journal noting it down. + +I have tried many note apps for my Android (I use GrapheneOS) phone. Most of them either don't do what I want, are proprietary software, require Google Play services (I have the main profile on my phone de-googled) or are too bloated. I was never into mobile app development, as I'm not too fond of the complexity of the developer toolchains. I don't want to use Android Studio (as a NeoVim user), and I don't want to use Java or Kotlin. I want to use a language I know (and like) for mobile app development. Go would be one of those languages. + +[](a-fine-fyne-android-app-for-quickly-logging-ideas-programmed-in-golang/logo-small.png) + +## Table of Contents + +* [⇢ A fine Fyne Android app for quickly logging ideas programmed in Go](#a-fine-fyne-android-app-for-quickly-logging-ideas-programmed-in-go) +* [⇢ ⇢ Enter Quick logger](#enter-quick-logger) +* [⇢ ⇢ All easy-peasy?](#all-easy-peasy) + +## Enter Quick logger + +Enter Quick logger – a compact GUI Android (well, cross-platform due to Fyne) app I've crafted using Go and the nifty Fyne framework. With Fyne, the app can be compiled easily into an Android APK. As of this writing, this app's whole Go source code is only 75 lines short!! This little tool is designed for spontaneous moments, allowing me to quickly log my thoughts as plain text files on my Android phone. There are no fancy file formats.

I jot down my Idea, and Quick logger saves it to a plain text file in a designated local folder on my phone. There is one text file per note (timestamp in the file name). Once logged, the file can't be edited anymore (it keeps it simple). If I want to correct or change a note, I simply write a new one. My notes are always small (usually one short sentence each), so there isn't the need for an edit functionality. I can edit them later on my actual computer if I want to. + +With Syncthing, the note files are then synchronised to my home computer to my `~/Notes` directory.
