OK, what’s the next alternative on the list after OneNote?

Simplenote

Pros:

  • Free
  • Windows version
  • syncs across devices

Cons:

  • the browser app won’t let me import my exported .enex Evernote file. I need the desktop app, which does let me import .enex files.
  • imported notes lose attachments, so no PDFs or images. Bother. What about encrypted notes? Does Simplenote allow for private (unsynced) notes, like Evernote used to do until the latest version (one reason I decided to look into alternatives)?
  • Can I attach images or pdfs or video or audio to Simplenotes? Don’t know yet.
