I took a quick look at Zoho, it looks interesting and I like features such as grouping notes. But it seems odd to me that there is no list view available for notebooks or notes?
I gave Notejoy and Inkdrop an close look along with UpNote as they are all similar, but felt UpNote was the best for me. I was also lucky to get a good sale price on the lifetime premium membership, although now that I’ve stuck with UpNote for a few months I would have happily paid the full price (I think $30?)
I would love UpNote to incorporate the toggle formatting from Craft.do to enable outlining/folding, not much else about it that is lacking for my needs. I really liked Craft too, and might have chosen that if the subscription price was closer to say $20/year.

Thanks for the video links! Interesting. Looks like a light weight OneNote. I’ve been using OneNote since 1.0 (currently using version 16.29 for the Mac). I’m a huge fan of OneNote but not Microsoft. They can’t seem to make up their mind on how/what OneNote should be. I’ve started using DEVONthink as a repository and OneNote as my day to day notebook. I would hate to leave OneNote but I’m getting fed up with MS.

Quick question. I decided to install Upnote on my desktop Win10 PC. They do not offer the traditional d/l file so I can install the program myself, so I used the Windows store for the first time. What I cannot figure out is how I can either reinstall, and more importantly, uninstall the program. It does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs list in the Control Panel. Is this now all handled by the Store app, something I have avoided using since I migrated to Win 10 a few years ago?

Based in Vietnam, with laws (tighter than china) forcing all companies to let their regime have all foreign cyber data for their intel files. Which they will index into files, just as any western data miner company does easily. In fact their laws were stricter than CCP and became even tougher recently. Any western Gov org employees should think before using companies based there for official work data, nor any company based in China.
Also think twice if your data is secret academia/industry, sensitive NGO (Viet regime’s cyber force do hunt activists as ai complains). Or if you have compromising personal data etc. Their laws are even worse than Beijing’s for gathering data on foreigners, in a particular way, since 2018.
Also Russia based companies which is democratically elected and has no such laws (to hand over all cyber law by their companies), should be avoided by gov org employees of NATO countries. Their cyber force is second only to USA, they do not need laws to get the data on westerners. Russia is also classified as adversarial to NATO countries and they invented compromising people into becoming agent “Kompromats” a century ago. It’s possibly advisable not to use such territories’ companies for personal data, if it is sensitive. It’ll be indexed and filed, as these regimes say so openly themselves. That is the whole point and why they call these
Cyber “Security” (intel) laws.
Basically, specially for western democracies’ gov org work data, you have to see where a company is based if they upload your data to their cloud. Then if it is an adversarial regime/elected gov, ask your superior at least. China is following vietnam in making it’s infamous cyber law to have access to all digi data by any company within china even harder this fall, passing a further CCP Congress law on this.
I like this app, developer seems a nice guy.
I became a premium member of this app last year, for testing and features eval purposes. But for above reasons I do not use it for data.
Good luck to him.

Are you claiming that any company headquarted in Vietnam would be required by the Vietnamese government to exfiltrate data of foreign users from US storage centers, including decrypting Firebase server data encrypted by Google? If so, can you provide any links to any of these stricter-than-Chinese laws that decree this? After all they claim that they “are using Firebase server located in the US to store the data. This service has been certified under major privacy and security standards and fully support EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Firebase encrypts your data in transit using HTTPS and encrypts your data at rest.”
FYI they likewise assert that the company only “collects aggregated, anynomous [sic] user data regarding app usage. ... information in the crash log may include your device information, stack trace, your IP address and other data that can be helpful to debug the issue,”
