Notes

23 apps

Notes is one of the strongest sections for apps you can use every day. Joplin syncs notes and to-dos across devices, Logseq is an outliner on top of plain-text Markdown and Org files, and Notesnook and Standard Notes focus on end-to-end encryption. FSNotes is a native Swift notes manager, and Simplenote is Automattic's official app.

Saber, built in Flutter, and Loose Leaf are for handwritten notes and PDF annotation. NoteGen organizes captured information into Markdown with AI. Most of the large apps here use React Native or another cross-platform stack, and most have App Store links. If you care about portability, check how each app stores notes: plain files, a database or an encrypted format. That decides how easily you can leave later.
