Comment by Silf on What's your favorite notetaking system? · 2019-09-30T19:55:37.548Z · LW · GW

Standard Notes is my choice.

Plusses:

  • End-to-end privacy ( end-to-end privacy)
  • Open source
  • Apps on Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and Linux
  • Unlimited devices
  • Web Access
  • Offline access
  • Automatic sync with no limit on data capacity
  • Plain text
  • Tags
  • Search in notes
  • If you pay $2.48/month: markdown and a lot of text editors, to-do lists, spreadsheets, encrypted attachments for your notes stored directly in Dropbox or Google Drive, themes, 2FA, note version history, etc.

Minuses:

  • They could improve the user interface
  • You have to pay for what I said before.

Who or what problems you think it works especially well and poorly for

  • I use it as my personal knowledge management. From book quotes, to meeting notes, as a to-do list, to writing texts, etc.
