If the answer to most of these questions is no, then it doesn't sound like org-note is the best note taking editor as you claim, it just sounds like it's the best editor for your specific set of criteria which does not apply to all notetakers. Will it automatically OCR embedded images and allow me to do text searches across my entire set of notes based on that text?

Can I easily sync and edit the data on my iPad, then on my android phone without having to worry about where the data is stored?Ħ. Can I use multiple fonts in the same individual note including monospaced ones and broad support for Unicode?ĥ. Does it support rich text editor functionality including the ability to insert tables easily from programs like Microsoft excel?Ĥ. Can I embed MP3s and play them within the note?ģ. Can I embed images and more specifically can I embed animated GIF files?Ģ. I read the Wikipedia entry for it but it didn't really shed a lot of light on these types of questions:ġ. It is a horrible learning curve for beginners, which is why it took me a decade to get to org-mode in the first place, but once you have climbed that hill, you are basically on top of the world.Įverybody serious about note-taking should give org-mode a try. Its biggest strength and arguably biggest weakness is its tied to Emacs. It is free, it is extensible, it is not going anywhere in next decade+, it let's me encrypt on my own terms, it let's me store and share on my own terms, it is as lightweight or as heavyweight as I want, it can be as pretty or as ugly as I want, I can edit it anywhere, search and organization is ridiculously advanced compared to anything else out there (or everything else is ridiculously behind). If you say this list is all over the place, then that is because requirements vary depending on purpose, not the other way around.Īfter almost a decade of experimenting, I have come to realise that the best note-taking tool by far is org-mode.

From Evernote to Google Keep to OneNote to Standard notes yo plain old notepad to Zotero to Word and really honestly many more. (it's not open source but the repo has some good FAQ that you might be interested in reading). It's not perfect but I think it is a better alternative. Do note that I am the dev so I am obviously biased. If you are a new user looking for encrypted notes and all that hosh posh or just an alternative to SN, you should also give Notesnook a try it solves all of the above issues in a sensible way. They have a solid app with okay features. Most people won't notice the above in their initial usage. They are active but many of the above issues are still not addressed.īut as I said, it's not all bad. The development seems to be going no where. Tags are nice and all but there's not much you can do with them.Ĩ. Search and organization seems like an after thought.

No right click on notes, no distraction free mode, no way to collapse the huge notes list.Ħ. I have no issue with that but there's no way to resolve them without creating duplicate copies of the note which clutters up the UI.ĥ. In my extensive usage of the app, conflicts are very normal.

(They did put out an update which hopefully changes things).ĥ. The android app is notoriously feature lacking compared to the Web version. The feature parity between their different apps across platforms is abysmal. Which sounds really epic on paper but once you forget your password, you lose all your data.Ĥ. They don't allow any form of account recovery. I am not sure how having 3 kinds of rich text editors is helpful but they have them.ģ.

Their pro plan mostly only offers editors. You can't even try out many of their editors.Ģ. I don't mean to be a pessimist here (SN is inspirational) but:ġ.

With that said, the bad outweigh the good. They take security very seriously and have multiple third party audits. Standard Notes is a phenomenal note taking app and one of the first to bring encryption in note taking.
