The official Simplenote desktop and web client, a React application packaged with Electron for Windows, Linux, and the browser. It syncs notes via the Simperium service and provides a lightweight note-taking experience.

Use cases

  • take notes on windows and linux
  • sync notes across devices
  • a simple markdown note app
  • open source evernote alternative
  • note taking app for desktop
  • access simplenote from the web

When to choose

  • you want a free, minimal note-taking app with cloud sync on Windows or Linux
  • you prefer a lightweight Electron-based notes client over heavyweight editors
  • you already use Simplenote and want the official desktop experience

When to avoid

  • you need offline-first local-only notes without an account
  • you want rich formatting, attachments, or handwriting support
  • you want to contribute locally without access to the test server or production credentials, since local development is restricted
