Your notes, I am NOT liable for anything.

It was written by Charl Botha, who needed a simplenote client on Linux and doesn't mind ugliness (that much). You heard right, you can run this on Linux (tested), Windows (tested) It is significantly uglier, but it is cross-platform. Velocity (and a little bit by nvALT too) on OSX and ResophNotes on As well as sharing notes for collaborative work.Nvpy is a simplenote-syncing note-taking tool inspired by Notational But there is even more you can do with SimpleNote. In the final post I’m going to talk about how I use SimpleNote to work on posts and book sections when I don’t want to haul my whole laptop around. In the next post, I’ll talk about using SimpleNote to manage to-do lists, project notes, and other information. This has been a basic post about just getting going. Worth it? Yeah, it’s on my to-do list to update to Premium. You can copy information you find on one device, from another by creating notes. The service is free, but a premium version for a paltry $12/year gives you more backup versions of each note, unlimited third party app bandwidth, no ads, the ability to email in notes, and an RSS feed (which is great for shared notes!). Because all the files and information are so small, syncing is almost instantaneous. You just start taking notes in SimpleNote. One moment you have just a couple notes, then, poof!, you have all the ones you’ve created since your last sync. When the syncing happens, it’s almost instant. On whatever platform or device that you might be using offline, syncing will happen with you connect. How much data and time is this going to take? That’s the great thing about SimpleNote, because the notes are purely text (even if you use markdown, textile or multimarkdown), there is very, very little data to transfer. SimpleNote has an API as well, just in case you don’t see something you like and just want to build it yourself. I can’t vouch for the Windows or non iOS apps there, but most are free to at least try. If you need a Windows version of a SimpleNote-compatible app or an app for another mobile device or even some other pretty cool SimpleNote tools, check out the downloads page. NV is an free, open-source app that has several forks already (like nvALT which adds previewing and more markdown support), but is true to the SimpleNote idea - simple and easy and light. On the Mac, we’ve used Notational Velocity or a new fork called Notational Velocity ALT, both of which sync with your main SimpleNote account. But once the note is shared, you can edit it wherever you wish. You can’t do this through the website, but I’d expect that feature to come soon. One of the newer features in the iOS app is being able to share a note with another user through the iOS app. New notes, edits, etc they all carry across. You sign in with your SimpleNote account and all your notes are synced up there. It’s very much like the web interface simple and it works. The app is a universal app for iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad. So, let’s talk about apps now.įor iOS, you can download the iOS version of SimpleNote from the App Store (free). While it’s nice that you can use a website to enter notes, that kinda defeats the “anywhere” idea. Even if you don’t remember to tag your note, the search feature is lightening fast on all platforms. The tagging system and pinning are how you can organize your notes. There is a search box to find notes, the big plus sign creates notes, you can tag notes (and filter by tag), delete notes, check the version history, and “pin” notes (keeps it at the top of the list regardless of age-great for to-do lists). That basic, simple window is all you need to know about how SimpleNote works. The key thing it is that you write a note one place, the note is synced to the main server so when you go to an app on an other OS, device, machine, whatever, your notes are all there.įirst step, go to the SimpleNote website and sign up for the free account. SimpleNote is based in the cloud, so you can use it on the web or through a variety of apps.
