I am a native English speaker and it has taken me reading all these comments about the name and a Google search to figure out people are equating joo with Jew. I still don't get what the issue is...

I'm a native English speaker and it's the literal first thing I thought of when I read the name. > I still don't get what the issue is... The word "jew" (as a verb) has roots in stereotypes about Jewish people and money; it's an ethnic slur. The word "jew" (instead of "a Jew" or "Jewish") is a dismissive insult. The word itself isn't inherently offensive, but it's often weaponized in English, which is why it has a lo…

Thanks. After searching I thought it might be that but wasn't sure because it seemed so ridiculous.

It certainly wasn't my goto when I read it, but the fact it was for some people might suggest the developer should change it, if only for the fact that it might put off potential customers.

What a weird world we live in.

Hmm I've never thought of having notes available on my lockscreen. Hardly even ever see it because face+fingerprint unlock combo.

I've been using Orgzly[0] as my note taker (and a lot more) and ButtonMaster[1] for rapid access. Unlock phone, swipe the floating BM button left, type my note (and maybe add properties, keywords and more) and hit save. Just now realizing too that it also supports creating notes via its notification. Never thought of using STT, but I have FUTO Keyboard[2] so that's also handled. And Syncthing[3] keeps it all synced with my laptop. All working together seamlessly for years.
