![]() Joplin seems to be the nerdy consensus for the best so I didn’t even try the rest. Anyway some of the other options I didn’t try are QOwnNotes, Cryptee, and SilentNotes. To Standard Notes credit they are not doing that neither is SimpleNote. Everyone’s like “Evernote is bad and too complex” and then is going down the road to becoming Evernote. ![]() Unfortunately most of them seem to be too complex and offering too many features, just like Joplin does. There’s a zillion note-taking apps out there. The sync is a little delayed (5 minutes?) and getting it set up on Android was awkward because of the opaqueness of the file system. Joplin will sync via files in a directory it is then the user’s problem how to sync those files. And they don’t lock other basic features behind the price. They do offer a cloud sync service at 24€/year but they also have a robust set of free sync options you can set up yourself. Joplin is free software and free to use, including a variety of self-hosted syncing options. (Base Standard Notes is free but you need to pay to use even the most simple advanced features like a decent Markdown plugin.) Just overall not excited to be paying so much for it. Mediocre cross-note search and no in-note search at all (except with one plugin). Its reliable on Markdown plugins for the editor, none of which quite work right. It also reminded me just how bad and klunky so much of Standard Notes is. But they hiked the price to $50/year and that seems like a lot of money for something so simple that I use occasionally. ![]() Then I used Standard Notes for a few years. It’s really nice! The only reason I switched away is because it doesn’t support encrypting notes on their cloud storage and I was doing things like pasting passwords into my notebook. Also it’s a 200MB Electron download, so that’s a bit much. Joplin has a zillion more features than that. It’s total overkill for what I do, all I really want is a markdown editor that doesn’t require me to remember to press “save”. ![]()
