  • sync notes across all my devices
  • write notes in markdown on macos
  • find old notes quickly with instant search
  • organize notes with tags
  • see previous versions of a note
  • free distraction-free note taking app for mac

When to choose

  • you want a free, lightweight, cross-platform note-taking app with reliable sync
  • you use macOS and want the native Simplenote client
  • you need Markdown support and note history without heavy features

When to avoid

  • you need rich formatting, attachments, or nested notebooks
  • you want a self-hosted notes solution
