Thank you for this app

The best app so far without bloatware

Dark mode + some other things

When it comes standard on the majority of note-taking apps, locking dark mode behind a paywall is petty and sort of goes against accessibility norms. I’d also like to see a one-time-payment option like UpNote to unlock all app/editor features, even if it requires us to self-host our data, and for JustNote-provided cloud storage to be an a la carte addon. And would like to see a Windows application at some point. I will update my review if these aspects ever end up being addressed, but in the meantime, I do not feel compelled enough to enter into a subscription when there are several other options that offer more base features for less or free.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your feedback. It is valuable. We’ll incorporate it to improve our app. Initially, our concept was to provide free essential features and ask for support on extra features. We’ll focus more on competitiveness. Our goal is to be the best choice among privacy-focused note-taking apps. We must provide adequate features, be reasonably priced, and have privacy in every aspect. 🙏

Very nice!

Well, this is a great discovery. A really elegant but simple, end-to-end encrypted note-taking app that works! Even better, the iPad app runs seamlessly on my MacBook Pro (running Sequoia 15.0.1). Okay, there are lots of note-taking apps out there (I have most of them!), but the end-to-end encryption and the small footprint are standout features and should be emphasised!

Great stuff, folks! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much. 🙏 We appreciate it. We’ll keep improving.

Great at the basics

Does w/ simplicity & clarity what many note-taking apps make unnecessarily complex. Intuitive UI, real formatting toolbar w/ text & highlight colors, plus E2EE — all free. $5/yr adds reasonable bonus features, like tags & customization. Unfortunately, tags aren't #inline, there's no backlinks or collapsible sections, syncing isn’t instantaneous, & desktop access is webapp only. Also, “new folder” is buried in Settings. But it does the basic better than most & is a great deal for the price.

Doesn’t sync

I really wanted to like this app. I love the idea of simple and even the huge password is kind of neat not to rely on an email address. However the syncing is non functional. I can edit on one device, click the checkbox to save it. Then an hour later I open on another device and the changes aren’t there at all. Maybe a day later I will get a message asking me which version I want. The whole point of the app is synching across devices.

Response from developer

We're sorry for the inconvenience. We guess it has just started syncing after you opened the app. It takes some time. You will see green loading at the top right while it's syncing. If you edit the note after the sync finishes, there should be no conflicted versions. You can also manually sync by choosing the three-dot button at the top right. Please feel free to contact us at support@justnote.cc if you have any questions.
