    Think fearlessly with end-to-end encrypted notes and files. For issues, visit https://standardnotes.com/forum or https://standardnotes.com/help.

  • I use Standard Notes[0] although it doesn't support images. Evernote supports images, but Evernote isn't as private as Standard Notes. There is also Joplin[1] if you really need images, and you can either self-host it or use their cloud[2] offering.

    A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.
