ruff is your pocket-sized best friend that aims to make writing on the go fun and sharing it fast & easy. It's a single sheet of text with your progress automatically saved and restored between sessions — no file management to worry about here! You can set aside (aka stash) text to come back to later via a left swipe. Or you can pass it on (aka share) via the FAB.
ruff doesn't want (or need) to replace your text editor, to-do app etc. With its original blend of utility & versatility, ruff is the ideal springboard for all your writing on the go: drafts, notes, lists, ideas, thoughts etc. It's a pleasure to write in ruff, and effortless to move the writing out 💪

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

5 ★After a few days use of the free version and finding more and more great features I have paid for the pro version and updated my rating to 5* to recognise how much effort the developer puts into maintaining and improving RUFF. A bit different from other quick note taking apps but the more you use it the more sense it makes and using it becomes intuitive. Recommended 👍
5 ★Excellent design and distraction free writing! Syncing to something that's accessible on a desktop would be a nice to have option in the future. I am not sure there are note taking apps out there with an API to import the ruff notes.
5 ★I absolutely love this app. The clean simplicity is an immensely welcoming environment to write ANYTHING, be it a short blurb or longer copy. Its like digital scribble pad for those that have the writing bug. The ability to stash pieces for retrieval and editing is GREAT to have.
1 ★It is a free app but if you want more than a page you have to pay. Not a bad thing but that is very unclear here. To repeat stashing isn't a thing until you pay, one page as a free app.
5 ★Great app for writing without distractions on my phone. The user interface is modern and gets out of my way. As a long time user of Appy Text on Windows Mobile 10 and Windows 10, this one's a no-brainer!
5 ★Excellent! Fluent! Modern! No annoying UI things. I haven't had seen such a great thing until now. Will you and Sync features? Syncing with G Keep, also I would be very happy if you add support for Emacs org-mode sync via local network. Thanks!
5 ★The Best note taking app I've used. Simple, reliable, with a super clean interface. Actually quite adorable! Responsive developer to feedback and support. Easily worth the upgrade!
4 ★I've liked the design and UI of the application but one thing that i didn't liked about it is that the limited number of notes we can save on the device. They should have allowed more notes in the free version.
5 ★Love the app and note-taking concept! Made the purchase to enjoy the additional features! Would love to see a few more font options. I enjoy monospace fonts a lot. Keep it up 🙂
3 ★Going in the app, going to another app, than back in ALWAYS crashes it, I have 6gb of ram on my phone (OnePlus 6), so for my purposes it makes the app unusable. I love the design and the stashing mechanic it's just that it can't stay in memory.
5 ★Grabbed the premium pretty much up front, support developers! Love the layout and functionality. I'm currently using as a quick daily journal in addition to not taking.
5 ★very clean ui. gets the job done when i need to write something quickly down for later. because there arent any buttons and things in the way i can think clearly before i jot something down.
