SilentNotes

SilentNotes is one of those note-taking apps that might just fit your style if you’re looking for something straightforward. With so many options out there, it can take a bit of time to find the right one that meets your needs. But if you want a simple app for your computer to keep notes either on your local drive or in the cloud, then SilentNotes could be just what you're after.

Simple and Easy Installation

Before we go any further, let’s not forget there’s also an Android version available on Google Play. But focusing on the Windows version, installing SilentNotes is super easy! You won’t need to tweak too many settings; just install and go. When you open it up, you’ll see a pretty basic main window that looks like a classic bulletin board.

Storing Notes Locally or in the Cloud

You can save your notes locally or use cloud services like WebDAV, Dropbox, and GMX. Plus, if you're tech-savvy, you can even set up your own website for online storage since SilentNotes supports FTP!

Your Notes Are Secure

Now about security – your notes are automatically encrypted before they leave your computer by default. If you're curious about how secure it is, you have two encryption options: AES256-GCM and Twofish256-GCM. You can turn this feature off in the settings if you want.

Basic Features but Effective

The features are pretty basic; however, they get the job done! You can easily create new notes or edit existing ones. There’s also an option to change colors and add some fun emojis! Searching for notes is quick too; you'll find what you're looking for in no time.

A Lightweight Solution

While SilentNotes may not blow you away with its features, it's a handy tool that runs lightly on system resources. Even beginners can jump right in without any hassle! It lets you keep everything organized right on your local machine or safely stored in the cloud.

A Few More Organization Options Would Help

If we had one wish for improvement, it would be more ways to organize notes—maybe folders or tags would be nice? But honestly, most everyday users might not even need those extra features!
