Standard Notes - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

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 [email protected]. When you take the time to send us a message, we'll be sure to do the same.

Best note taking app ever

I’ve used so many note taking apps and this is the best one I’ve come across so far. So many features for so cheap. Thank you for making this amazing app!

Wonderful Notes App

Love using this app, especially across all of my apple devices. My only challenge using is highlighting text on my iPhone can be troublesome to select some but not all of text. Love the privacy side of it. I’m yet to use many of the features.

Fails its own philosophy

I was an early adopter of Standard Notes, previously having the 5 year plan. Their original selling point - besides encryption - was the longevity of plain text, but unfortunately they’ve continually changed, broken and removed features such that it would’ve been better not to use Standard Notes at all. Some old notes are a mess because they removed the editors that those notes were written with. Some add-ons are completely broken. Todo files are still functional but a terrible interface on mobile due to tiny text. They’re now pushing Super Notes, against their own philosophy, and have raised the price almost exponentially. On top of all this I can’t see an easy way to get my notes out in plain text, more than one at a time. I still love the encryption, but the rest is a mess.

App doesn’t work

The app freezes and crashes a few seconds after opening every time. Have tried reopening and reinstalling.

Leaked

UPDATE: Great App, needs middle-ground pricing.

UPDATE: 11 Aug 23: Originally 3 Star - NOW 4 Star: It’s only fair to give this brilliant app 4 Stars. I cannot give it 5 yet because the pricing must have a middle ground. If the people behind the app can find a ‘far more’ affordable way for folk to use it, I feel this could be a Content Creator/Influencers Dream App Stack Hero! There you go, Mr/Mrs/Ms Developer; I cannot say fairer than that. Great app. Does the stuff you want to do with a notes app very well. It has good features and great utility. Who on earth thought up the disgusting subscription price? Please, take the opportunity to tell us all; how is this worth £119.00? Really, tell us all on here how you work this out? In contrast, you can get MS Office 365 for a year with everything that offers for HALF the price!

Amazing for your privacy and security

I was unable to find a decent notes app that offered a beautiful and intuitive UI. Whilst also being security and privacy conscious. Having previously used Notion, a useful app. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a secure replacement. But StandardNotes has worked very well! Highly recommended.

The one I keep coming back to

I’m a note app addict. I scour Hacker News for the latest fad. I have maintained spreadsheets comparing features and values of more apps than I’d like to admit. To my surprise, SN is the one I keep coming back to. They seem to do most things I care about, and few I don’t. Sync works smoothly. The clients are somehow not bloated (even though they’re just web views.) Offline works well. It is flexible to accommodate for multiple workflows. Different editors make it fun to use. It sync across devices – which, unfortunately, is more than can be said about plaintext. I could truly go on. On top of that, the company’s values align with mine very well. Open source. Longevity. Privacy. I think it’s time to stop playing the field. I am committed to Standard Notes.

This version (3.142.8) doesn’t work

I just updated to the latest version. It doesn’t work. All I get is a blank, white screen. Nothing else happens. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled several times, to no avail. There should be a way to revert to your previous version (which was worth 5 stars, by the way).

How to break your app and lose users?

Every time I try to open the app I get a login box to every detail. Trouble is the box is hidden but the keyboard so you can’t see what is going on and when you try and input the password field it defaults to email input field - feels hacked. I’m off!
