I spend a huge chunk of my time every day jotting down information, ideas, and thoughts. As such, I’m selective about the note-taking apps I use on my devices.
For a long time, my note-taking system used two apps: Simplenote for quick notes and Obsidian for structured notes. However, a while back, I set out to find a replacement for Simplenote since its simplicity, which I once found its biggest strength, started to feel limiting in everyday use.
I tested a few popular note-taking apps and found Notesnook to be the most fitting for my needs. I’ve since switched to Notesnook as my go-to notes app, and I wish I had done it sooner.

What is Notesnook? Notesnook is a relatively new app in the note-taking space. What sets it apart from many popular note-taking apps is end-to-end encryption and a generous free plan.
End-to-end encryption enables Notesnook to offer a private note-taking experience. It ensures your notes remain private, whether they’re on your device or on Notesnook’s servers. As for the free plan, it’s the most feature-rich free plan I’ve used in a note-taking app in a while, packing all the essential features you’d typically use. The free plan keeps your notes synced across all your devices, too, eliminating the need for manual workarounds — like with Obsidian. What’s also nice is that, unlike apps like Notion, Notesnook has a fully functional offline mode, so you can view, edit, search, and organize notes even when you aren’t connected to the internet.
Notesnook is a cross-platform and feature-rich notes app that keeps your notes encrypted at all times, whether they’re on your device or on Notesnook’s servers.
Notesnook is available on all major mobile and desktop platforms. You also get a free web clipper for Firefox and Chromium-based web browsers that lets you quickly save webpages and articles you find interesting on the internet to Notesnook. The best part is that it supports text selection, so you can select the exact paragraphs you want to save on a webpage.
