FAQ:
So what exactly is Clear Note Widget? Is it an app or a widget?
- Both! Clear Note Widget's main feature lets you place transparent notes that blend in with your home screen, but it also functions pretty well as a standard note app (opening it through the shortcut). Regular (aka non-widget) notes can also be password-protected/encrypted.
How do I add a widget to my home screen?
- You'll first need to tap the App Drawer icon. This should bring up a list of your applications with two tabs near the top of the screen: Apps and Widgets. Tap the widgets tab, and scroll over to the right (swipe left) until you get to the Clear Note Widgets. From there, just tap on your desired size (you can always resize later*), hold, and you'll be able to drop the widget on any of your home screens.
How do I resize a widget?
- While on a home screen, press and hold a Clear Note Widget for about 1-2 seconds, then let go. You should see a box around your note widget with some blue "handles" at the corners. Drag the handles either towards or away from the widget, depending on whether you'd like the widget to be smaller or larger.
*I can't seem to resize my widget to a smaller size. What's the deal?
- You might be running Android 3.1 or 3.2. Android 3.1 introduced widget resizing but only above a minimum width and height. So a 2x2 widget could be resized anywhere between 2x2 and 4x4, but never smaller than 2x2. This was fixed in Android 4.0+, but aside from upgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich, the only solution is to add a 1x1 widget to the home screen (which will let you resize to any larger size and back).
How do I create a regular note?
- Regular notes (the non-sticky kind) can be created directly from the Clear Note Widget app. Just run Clear Note Widget from your App Drawer or the shortcut icon, and press the "Create a New Note" button!
I don't like having to change my background color, text colors or font sizes every time. Help!
- No problem! You can set up your default options (editor font size, background, text colors, font sizes) by tapping on the Settings icon (the one with the two circles) while editing a note or the notes list screen. There's a slight difference between the two: the widget note Settings menu lets you set your current widget options as the default, while the notes list Settings menu lets you select the actual default options!

What's Changed
New in 2.1:
- Fixed a bug that prevented colors from being modified if their defaults were set
- Scrolling note widgets have been added! IMPORTANT: because this uses a bit of a hack, you now must tap on your widget title or note text to get to the Note Editor. You can no longer tap on the empty space below it!
- Focus automatically moves to note text when tapping on a widget
- Settings overhaul (fixed issues with setting defaults)
- and more!

This app lets me add "to do" notes on my home screen without any sticky notes by using the transparent feature. I would appreciate more than just one font option. Otherwise, it's a great app.

Great app, I've only had 1 bug. I just updated my Nexus 5X to Android 7.0 and the list won't show any changes unless the phone is restarted. Changes are saved and when you open the list the changes have been made but the one on the home screen does not update unless restarted.

If you want a space to type something down before you forget it, this app is great! The widget looks very nice and I can quickly see my list without having to open the app. Recommended!

I have a problem. After I create a note on a transparent background, I cannot seem to EDIT. I make the changes on the editing screen and press SAVE, but nothing happens. The original stays the same and the edited version does not show upon the note. Please help

Starting to piss me off when the widgets disappear. And why can't you add an existing note you wrote using app. It's a great concept that falls flat on it's ass.

I've been searching for a simple, transparent note widget for so long. It's shocking how few are on the market. So glad I finally stumbled across this app! No problems so far.

Was looking for something like this, an easy to use transparent note widget, but this app was all I could find with this feature for Android. Needs a color picker to select color or hue, and transparency slider. Would like to use image as a background for notes, font choices, a way to save and toggle reusable notes, but okay for the price. Be aware, there are few if any updates, zero improvements made to this app, so if you don't like it as it is, you may not like it later on. There are bugs: App reverts to original note after making changes (most annoying) and does so while resizing note on desktop. Can't auto save, leaving the user to remember to do so while editing or creating notes, badly coded some time without fixing.

Great app for reminders or notice board sticky notes. Would have gave it 5 stars if it had an alarm you could set for each note or reminder. Interface could be more user-friendly when using app or widget in separate applications. Definitely worth the money

Exactly what I was looking for. Fits my phone theme perfectly being transparent. Only one minor issue. Colors and sizes on widgets reset to original default after resize. I need to open and save the note to fix again. This is despite the defaults being changed to my preference already. Not a big issue worth a star reduction. But worth mentioning. Thanks for a great app! The best part is NO bogus permissions. None period for that matter.

Love the idea of sticky notes that are transparent and my favorite color Purple, but need more colors added to font colors and note colors. How about pastel colors. Awesome plus a very nice app!

I have been using this app on note 2 and note 3. It works perfectly. However after changing to LG g3, there has been some glitches. From time to time, the app will forget the most recent changes I made to my notes and bounce back to the older version. It's as if they undo my changes. Yet when I click on the notes, they redo the chanhes back. Please fix this before I need to find another bug free app.

I have been looking for an app like this for a long time. What a blessing. I post scriptures to the background of my phone sometimes I'll post reminders. I have never had a problem with this app, works great. I highly recommend this app

I loved this app but it keeps disappearing from my Samsung s4 without warning and with no back up. Twice I've lost all my lists and its so frustrating. Is there any way to get it all back? If not i'll be un-installing and giving up on what was the best and most useful app on my phone :(
