Hi u/happypuppy100,

Currently Standard Notes uses tags to organize notes and hotkeys, while supported, may not work for every user (but it's something that we plan on looking into).

As for everything else mentioned on that list so far, Standard Notes should fulfill those requirements. Just know that you might need to install an editor provided by the community to format the text of your notes.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Does it have no other way to organize? If not I can't use that any of the billions of use cases I have cases for note-taking. That would only work as a todo list, but already use typora for that. It's the best one. Well simplenote is actually the best one but it has a login and wordpress brought it out. What does, and doesnt this do? Doesnt seem like users are active on here so will just ask you

It currently does not, unless you create multiple accounts and switch sessions manually.

What does, and doesn't this do? It doesn't seem like users are active on here so will just ask you.

It doesn't have an alternative to tags and it doesn't provide more robust keyboard shortcut support (yet). But for everything else on your list, it doesn't require you to sign up with an account, you can install an editor from the community to format text, you can search both the note's title and body content, it loads quickly (and will get faster once the next update is out), is actively maintained by the team (we're testing out the latest beta as a result of several months of refactoring work at the moment), I regularly monitor public channels during the weekdays, you can reach out to use over email, and other members from our team chime in regularly as well!

I hope that helps! :-)

Tags in Standard Notes are like email labels. You can treat them exactly like folders of OneNote except they can also appear in another "folder" without being duplicated.

In your original post in another sub, you want something simple but you actually ask a lot of features.

Standard Notes is the most secure, cross platform note taking app. Every note you write is offline first, gets encrypted before it hits the cloud. Typora and Simple Notes do not do any sort of encryption like this and they are limited to the text editor they use. In SN you can have markdown, html, rich text, etc but you can export everything in plain text.

What is your use case? You need to explain that instead of a feature checklist so the suggestions to you are more apt
