Description

Standard Notes is a private and secure end-to-end encrypted notes app. It allows you to write and sync your notes across all your devices, including your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and web browser.

Private means your notes are end-to-end encrypted, so only you can read your notes. Even we can't read the contents of your notes.

Simple means it does one job and does it well. Standard Notes is a safe and lasting place for your life's work. Our focus is making it easy to write notes wherever you are and syncing them with encryption to all your devices.

Our users love us for:
• Personal Notes
• Tasks & Todos
• Passwords & Keys
• Code & Technical Procedures
• Private Journal
• Meeting Notes
• Cross-platform Scratchpad
• Books, Recipes, & Movies
• Health & Fitness Log

Standard Notes comes free with:
• Seamless sync across all your devices, with easy to use applications on iPhone, iPad, Mac, web browsers, and other platforms.
• Offline access, so you can access your downloaded notes even without a connection.
• No limit on number of devices.
• No limit on number of notes.
• Passcode lock protection, along with Touch ID and Face ID protection.
• A tagging system to organize your notes (like #work, #ideas, #passwords, #crypto).
• The ability to pin, lock, protect, and move notes to trash, which allows you to recover deleted notes until the trash is emptied.

Standard Notes is completely open-source, which means when we say your notes are encrypted with industry-leading XChaCha-20 encryption, and that only you can read your notes, you don't have to take our word for it. Our code is open to the world to audit.

We made Standard Notes simple because longevity is important to us. We want to make sure we're here, protecting your notes, for the next hundred years. You shouldn't have to find a new notes app every year.

To sustain our development, we offer optional paid subscriptions which give you access to powerful tools like:
• Productivity editors (like Markdown, Code, Spreadsheets)
• Beautiful themes (like Midnight, Focus, Solarized Dark)
• Powerful cloud tools including daily backups of your encrypted data delivered to your email inbox every day, or backed up to your cloud provider (like Dropbox and Google Drive).

We're always happy to talk, whether it be a question, thought, or issue. Please feel free to email us any time at help@standardnotes.com. When you take the time to send us a message, we'll be sure to do the same.

“Extended” is good

The free version is quite limited in scope: it only supports plaintext notes (no markdown) with simple tagging (no hierarchical tags, and no easy way to list untagged notes). The selection of themes is also extremely limited.

In return, the sync between devices is very fast and reliable (compared to e.g. Joplin), and you can rest assured that your a notes are end-to-end encrypted by an app that is fully open source and third-party audited. If you want to leave, it’s easy to export notes (Linux users, see also "standardnotes-fs".)

If you pay for the Extended version (30-day free trial), most of my complaints about the app itself vanish thanks to extensions. It has MarkDown editors (“MarkDown Basic” works well on iOS, the others I tried only work well on computers); it has hierarchical tags and a way to view untagged items (“Folders” extension); and the extensions “Task Editor” and “TokenVault” are nice to have. I don’t like the bundled themes, so being able to install more themes as extensions is also nice.

At this point, my main complaint is that it is not well integrated with iOS. In particular, I’d love “Apple Shortcuts” integration, so that I could easily capture notes from my home screen with a simple Shortcut widget button; or so that I could highlight text in other apps, click “Share”, and send the text straight to a new note file in Standard Notes. In general, the less time it takes to capture notes from other contexts, the more valuable a note app becomes. I hope this is planned in the future.

I also think that the Extended mode should be more plug-and-play. At the moment, you have to spend an hour on a computer testing out the various extensions to end up with a decent setup. It would be much better if a curated set of extensions would be enabled automatically once you purchase Extended (e.g. Folders and a decent MarkDown mode), and let it be up to power users to disable or replace them if they don’t want them. Or at least having a curated Extension Pack that could be installed with one click. This would make it easier to recommend Standard Notes to friends that want their apps to “just work”.

All in all, a great product for as long as you don’t mind paying for Extended, but there are some areas that could be improved.
