Oh I see, so basically it’s missing the possibility of encrypting or password-protecting individual notes. That would be great indeed, too bad the devs don’t want to do it
I’m using the paid version (I have a Professional plan but I still pay 49.99$ a year, which was the old price I believe). It’s pretty great, but markdown support can sometimes be janky and I also have problems with sync from time to time. Also the apps make me re-login randomly, and one time the app thought I had a free subscription instead of a paid one and, because of that, ALL of my markdown notes were turned into plaintext notes. I still have to re-set them all, one by one, to markdown.
There is also 100GB cloud support for files, subscription sharing and a bunch of other stuff, but I’d rather see them work on making the whole experience more robust, instead of adding new features.
With the current prices I would not recommend upgrading to a paid version, and I’m also looking to switch to something more flexible and robust.
Notion would be the greatest piece of consumer software EVER, if it was e2e-encrypted and usable offline. I’ve used it for a couple of years and, in multiple cases, I was not able to access my notes because of some problems they had with their domain. Not great.
Appflowy and Anytype seem to be the best open alternatives yet, but they both are still immature and lack some features
There is a huge number of alternatives, depending on what features you need. Joplin is probably the most famous open-source alternative. You can also subscribe to Joplin Cloud to have e2e-encrypted note synchronization between devices.
If you don’t need a web clipper, look into Standard Notes (FOSS and e2e encryoted, also available via web interface - that’s what I use ATM), Simple Notes (FOSS but not encrypted), Obsidian (great but maybe a bit overkill and expensive if you want to sync) or Anytype (also a bit overkill and still in beta, but also very promising)
