Standard Notes starts on all platforms

The free note software Standard Notes is now also available for Android devices. The open source solution synchronizes notes via your own server or Dropbox.
Note software with sync function is now like sand on the sea: heavyweights like Evernote, Wunderlist, Google Keep and Co. are represented on almost all platforms and wrestle for the favor of the users. A less well-known alternative for security-conscious users is Standard Notes, which is now also available for Android devices.
In contrast to the competition, the open-source solution deserves particular attention with security and data protection. For example, the synchronization of the written notes in Standard Notes is optionally end-to-end encrypted. In addition, the software can also be operated on its own server, whereby critical information does not leave the own network. The solution is also suitable for small businesses looking for a simple and locally hosted note service. Alternatively, the server of the manufacturer team is also available for synchronization. However, a user account is required for Standard Notes. Finally, the synchronization can also be done via a Dropbox account. Another security goodie: If desired, the mobile app prevents the creation of screenshots.
Standard Notes is limited to essentials
As a minimalistic solution, Standard Notes can not and will not keep up with the functionality of the competition. The application is essentially limited to the creation of text notes, which can be tagged with different tags. Nice security gimmick: If desired, the mobile app prevents the making of screenshots.
Extensions also include file attachments, a markdown editor, a blogging extension for Standard Journal, and a still-experimental Realtime Collaborative Editor. For a paid subscription, the software can also be extended by a note history, a more comprehensive markdown editor, or a code editor for programmers. How much one of these features is worth, everyone can decide for themselves. Pricing is based on the pay-as-you-feel principle.
The software is platform-spanning for Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Android, iOS and a web app for use.
