Standard Notes for Linux

A simple and private place for your notes, thoughts, and life's work

Overview

Standard Notes is a simple and private note-taking app designed for Linux users.

It provides a safe place to write down your notes, thoughts, and important information.

This app keeps your notes secure by using end-to-end encryption, which means only you can see what you write.

Not even the app makers can read your notes.

The app works well as a utility tool for writing and organizing personal notes, tasks, and to-do lists.

It also helps you manage passwords, keys, and technical information safely.

Standard Notes supports features like tagging to keep your notes organized and options to pin or lock notes for extra security.

Deleted notes go to a trash bin where you can easily recover them before emptying the trash.

It syncs your notes across devices, including Android, Windows, iOS, Linux, and web browsers.

You can access your notes offline after downloading them.

There is no limit on how many devices you use or how many notes you create.

Security is further strengthened with passcode lock and fingerprint protection.

Standard Notes is open source, which means anyone can check the code to confirm it uses strong AES-256 encryption to protect your data.

This transparency helps to build trust with users.

For those who want more, an optional paid program called Standard Notes Extended offers extra tools like rich text editors, themes, and daily encrypted data backups to email or cloud storage.

This software suits Linux users looking for secure, reliable, and private note-taking without unnecessary extras.
