Hi I had an App previously, that was just called Write for simple note taking, where you could take a picture, and make simple edits, like using a simulated marker to highlight.
I used it for the very simple task, of taking a picture of our shopping list, and then striking things I’ve purchased, which IMO can be very helpful when you have big shoppinglists, which we tend to have.😋
In principle the standard photo edit on my phone can do it, but it’s not very good at it, because it’s clumsy to resize and navigate the list.
Obviously I prefer an app that is free and without advertising.
Maybe others will find this helpful too?

      Thanks!!!
      That is very nice, I can definitely use that. I can’t see I can take the photo from within the app, which would be nice.
      But it’s just a tiny extra step, and does exactly what I want otherwise. 😀 👍
      I had actually looked in f-droid quite thoroughly I thought, but it’s very hard to find this functionality described for any of the note-taking apps.

      Thank you for the effort, but I can’t see those have the transparent “magic marker” function I like, so I can see easily what I’ve marked out.
      Unfortunately they also seem to want to collect data, which “Saber” I was recommended previously doesn’t AFAIK.

      I have looked at five articles now describing Google keep, and none of them describe functionality similar to what I asked.

          I installed and tried it. And if it can, it has to be just about the least intuitive program to use, yes I can take a photo, but selecting a color does nada to draw on it, selecting drawing opens an empty drawing instead of allowing painting on the photo. And I see no option for transparency?

          Edit: Weird, after closing it, and opening it again, a brush appeared at the top, which when selected can draw and change to transparency, IDK what exactly happened, but yes it is apparently possible.
