Missing ability to share txt url or what ever to note...uninstalled
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.
