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. Not even much of an organization scheme (sorta, but I’ll get to that). SimpleNote, just like the name implies, is a simple, basic note taking application/service.
