How to Access Your PureText Files Directly from Your PC

One of the biggest frustrations with most note-taking apps is that your data is locked in a "black box." You can't easily access your files without going through the app itself. PureText was built to solve exactly this problem.

Why Standard Files Matter

PureText saves everything as standard .txt files (or .md, .csv, .xml, and more) directly to a folder you choose — like Documents or Downloads. This means your files follow the same rules as any other file on your phone.

Accessing Files from Your PC

Here's how simple it is:

Connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
On your phone, select "File Transfer" (MTP) mode.
Open File Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac.
Navigate to your phone's storage → Documents (or whichever folder you chose in PureText).
Your .txt files are right there — open, edit, copy, or back them up directly.

No extra software. No exporting. No cloud accounts needed.

What This Means for You

Writers: Draft on your phone, polish on your PC in your favorite text editor.
Students: Access lecture notes directly without any sync apps.
Coders: Edit config files or scripts on your phone and pull them to your workstation.

Choosing Your Storage Folder

When you first open PureText, it guides you to select a storage location. We recommend:

Documents — for notes you want to keep organized
Downloads — for quick, easily accessible files

You can also create custom folders within those directories to keep projects separated.

Bonus: File Manager Compatible

On Android, you can also use any third-party file manager (like Solid Explorer or Files by Google) to browse, move, and copy your PureText files — no special permissions required.
