STE vs PlainNotes Offline

The app name speaks for itself. SimpleTextEditor allows you to create and edit any TXT files on your iPhone, iPad and iCloud like the way you create and edit TXT files on your Mac with TextEdit. Just make a long press on a TXT file, select Share and pick SimpleTextEditor from the list and you can start modifying the content right away without any distractions. It's that easy. Plus, STE also includes the Clear clipboard option, which comes in handy and allows you to clear all the content from the system clipboard to prevent other apps from reading it.

PlainNotes Offline is a simple note editor designed for people who want complete control over their data. It works fully offline and never connects to the internet. Notes are stored only on your device and encrypted at rest. No cloud sync, no accounts, no tracking—your data never leaves your device. Key Features • Fully offline, no network operations • Local-only storage (on your device) • Encryption at rest • Passphrase-protected access • No cloud sync, no accounts • No ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs Important: No Recovery PlainNotes Offline has no recovery mechanism. If you forget your passphrase, delete the app, or reset your device, your notes cannot be recovered. This is an intentional design choice to maximize privacy and local data ownership.
