Standard Notes

Standard Notes is a safe place for your notes, thoughts, and life's work. Your notes are encrypted and secured so only you can decrypt them.

No one but you can read your notes. Compose any kind of note, from rich text, to Markdown and code. Change the mood and find new inspiration with beautiful themes. Keeping our app simple means you'll spend less time fighting and more time writing. It's faster and lighter than most notes apps.

Standard Notes is free to use on every platform, and comes standard with cross-platform sync and end-to-end privacy. For those wanting a little more power and flexibility, we created Extended, which unlocks powerful editors, themes, and automated backups.
