I wonder if anyone here has taken a look at this app?
It is described as “a standard notes app with an un-standard focus on longevity, portability, and privacy.”
I notice that the author has also written an amusing rant about Evernote:

Have you tried this app? I don’t think I would open a server account just to to check it out.
“Standard Note” sounds a bit like newspeak. It’s not what I’d think of as a “standard” format—like plain text. There are links on the site that supposedly lead to other apps using the “standard”, but the links are dead.

No, I hoped that someone else had! I thought about downloading it but had the same misgivings at the last minute.
Though the developer writes eloquently, and I agree with him in theory, I am just curious how all this works out in practice.

Thanks for finding this one! Since you posted I’ve tried on web and PC. I like it quite a bit. I am a huge fan of local encryption and this app has a few things the other zero-knowledge notes apps lack: tags and local apps for various platforms with syncing. I haven’t tried IOS yet - eager to see if I can work offline on IOS. If so, this is a keeper.
Also, as I was using it I had a bunch of questions. I tweeted them to the developer and he responded immediately each time, which is a great sign.

FYI, ios app is not really available yet - if you are an ios developer you can run it from GitHub apparently, but it’s not in the app store. They say sometime in Jan 2017.
