What is Standard Notes

Standard Notes is a note-taking tool that protects your data with strong encryption. When you write a note, it gets locked with a secret code that only you have. This means even the company that runs Standard Notes cannot read what you write. Your notes sync across all your devices automatically, so you can start writing on your phone and continue on your computer.

The app offers both free and paid plans. The free version includes basic note-taking with full encryption, while paid plans add features like rich text formatting, file storage, and advanced editors for different types of content. It works on web browsers, desktop computers, and mobile devices, giving you access everywhere.

How to Use Standard Notes

Getting started with Standard Notes is simple and quick. Here are the basic steps:

  • Visit the website or download the app for your device, then create a free account with your email and a strong password.

  • Start writing notes immediately using the simple text editor. Your notes sync automatically across all logged-in devices.

  • Use tags to organize your notes into categories like work, personal, or ideas. Tags work better than folders because one note can have multiple tags.

  • Lock individual notes with an extra password if they contain very sensitive information like account details or private thoughts.

  • With paid plans, choose different note types for your content. Use markdown for formatted text, spreadsheets for data, or code editors for technical notes.

  • Set up daily email backups in settings to receive an encrypted copy of all your notes every day.

FAQ's About Standard Notes

Is Standard Notes really free?
Yes, Standard Notes offers a completely free plan with no time limits. It includes end-to-end encryption, unlimited notes and devices, offline access, tags, and daily backups. You can upgrade to Productivity ($90/year) or Professional ($120/year) for additional features like file storage and advanced editors.
How secure is Standard Notes?
Standard Notes uses end-to-end encryption, meaning your notes are encrypted on your device before being sent to their servers. Even Standard Notes employees cannot read your notes. The app is open-source and has been independently audited four times by security researchers. It also supports two-factor authentication and hardware security keys.
Can I use Standard Notes without internet?
Yes, Standard Notes works completely offline. Your notes are stored locally on your device, so you can read and write without internet connection. When you reconnect, any changes automatically sync to your other devices.
What happens if I forget my password?
Because of the strong encryption, Standard Notes cannot reset your password or recover your notes if you forget your password. Your password is the only key to decrypt your data. This is a security feature, but it means you must remember your password or keep it safely stored.
Can I import notes from other apps?
Yes, Standard Notes can import notes from several popular apps including Evernote, Apple Notes, Simplenote, and Google Keep. There are also community-made tools to import from OneNote and other services. You can export your notes at any time in encrypted or plain text format.
