Is there a simple text editor available for Android that doesn't sell my data?

Install Termux and use your favorite TUI editor.

If you want to edit text files e.g. txt you can install Material Files from F-Droid and edit files there using built in text editor.

Acode... Not too simple, though

Does anyone know if there's a text editor with Material v3 design?

[–] GamerBoy705 3 points 1 year ago

I use Squircle CE. It's not really just a simple text editor, but it's not complicated either. It should open pretty much any type of text document you throw at it.

It's not FOSS, and it's been a few years since I used it, but I used to rely on Jota text editor. It was a very straightforward one, no bells and whistles, but that was kinda what I wanted from it. It didn't get unmanageable when using very large files, and if I recall correctly I think it also handled both Unix and Windows line endings, which mattered to me.

Not sure if it's still good, though. I don't do nearly as much weird stuff with my phone as I used to.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am checking into them, now.
