Notesnook
Notesnook is a note-taking app for web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, with note sharing and offline access. Notes are encrypted end-to-end before leaving the device, and the apps and sync server are open source under GPLv3. The app can be locked with a fingerprint, PIN, or password; selected private notes can also have a separate password. Individual notes can be published as web pages, optionally password protected. Zapier, IFTTT, or a custom script can send notes through the Inbox API. The free plan offers unlimited notes on unlimited devices, 50 MB of attachment storage per month, files up to 10 MB, and limits of 50 notebooks and 50 tags. Free users can read web-clipped content offline; paid plans include full offline mode and provide from 1 GB to 25 GB of attachment storage per month. Monthly plan prices listed include Essential at $1.99 per month, Pro at $6.99 per month, and Believer at $8.99 per month, including tax. Subscriptions can be cancelled without fees, with notes remaining readable and exportable.
