What it does
Standard Notes is an end-to-end encrypted note-taking application for digitalists and professionals. It lets users capture notes and files, keep them in a private account, and synchronize them across unlimited devices. The README emphasizes that only the user can read the encrypted content.
The project provides web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android access, with a documented web app and downloadable clients. Its open-source repository also supports self-hosting: users can build the web app and serve the generated static files locally, while configuring a custom sync server. The documentation additionally describes publishing through the Listed service and extension development.
