I am so glad I found this app, because I was getting close to thinking I had to build my own to fit my needs. I use notes, spreadsheets, and the Excalidraw plug-in all the time. Indispensable.

I'm a free user but if I took more notes I'd be a paying user. Real end-to-end encrypted notes, not much more you can ask for.

I love how they have a separate tags box when you write a note and the tags as folders is great too. What I hate is you can't colour your text or add a highlight colour. Also, the free option is very limited and the paid option is very expensive. And there is no free trial available. Also, there is no quick note function. I need either a global keyboard shortcut (Mac) or a menubar icon where I can quickly add a new note from anywhere on my computer

Expensive for what it is. Checklist document type is very basic, user workflow is not smooth with too many clicks required. Pasting images is a ball-ache

SN is one of the best notetaking apps. It's good at most things, but excels at privacy. Very powerful writing experience, but no PDF handling, no web clipper and complicated and basic file uploading. Everything needs to be hosted in a separate service like Dropbox

I use this throughout the day to save thoughts and write notes on both my phone and laptop. It's become an essential part of my daily routine. It's been useful in both school and work. I haven't had a problem with it in the 2+ years I've been using it.

A worthy alternative to OneNote (slow start up, freezes and glitches, too bloated), Evernote (can fall down out of wifi area), Bear (Markdown lacks rendered view).
