Overview

Many note-taking apps store your notes in readable form on their servers, which makes private thoughts and work files exposed to the provider. Standard Notes addresses this by encrypting notes and files end to end, so only you hold the keys to read them while they sync across unlimited devices. The app runs as a web app, on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, and includes Markdown support and the ability to publish a blog with Listed. Developers can build extensions, and you can self-host your own sync server by following the project's documentation, or serve the web app from a static file server. Standard Notes is released under the AGPL-3.0 license and is aimed at digitalists and professionals who want one secure place for notes, files and long-term work.
