I think this would make working with the text incredibly difficult. Do you know about "privacy foils"? They limit the viewing angle and make it more difficult for other people to read your screen.

There's also this where you need special glasses or it appears white. But not sure you could do it easily, but I know of a friend that had this effect happen on half her screen because of some cracks in the middle.
there's a Blackberry developed app called Privacy Shade which makes your screen dark except a small area you are looking at/using on the screen. it's for blackberries, obviously, but there's some way you can install it on any android device
If you're on Android, you could probably open your notes app as a picture-in-picture window and just make it really small on your screen.
Other than that, I just use a font small enough that I can read it, but it would be difficult to read at a distance. Not foolproof, but better than nothing for privacy.
How about a nested list app?
I use "listing it!" for all kinds of things that fit in that kind of category, grocery lists of course but also notes and stuff. You could easily add a new item or sub item and all of the above items are now out of sight.
Not 100% what you're asking, but short of programming it yourself I don't feel like you'd find this randomly in an app store.
I think this would make working with the text incredibly difficult. Do you know about "privacy foils"? They limit the viewing angle and make it more difficult for other people to read your screen.
I know what the cons would be, I rather have this than a foil.
In my experience foils obscure your screen in general, so you get inconvenienced always instead of just for a specific app.
