Standard Notes is free to use on all your devices, and comes standard with sync and end-to-end encryption. For powering up your experience, we created Extended, which is how we support development of Standard Notes.

A note-worthy experience starts with Extended.

Do your best work with 27 extensions and counting:

Safeguard your files

Unlimited file attachments encrypted in the safety of Standard Notes and uploaded directly to your Dropbox, Google Drive, or WebDAV server.

Multi-editor productivity

Unmatched data care

Why 5 years?

The 5-year plan is our take on a sustainable, long term plan. It provides you with all of Extended’s benefits for a long time to come, and also helps support Standard Notes develop a secure application, both technically and financially. Our revenue source comes exclusively from our customers, and not from advertisers or venture capitalists. This ensures our priorities are always aligned with yours. We’ve marked the 5-year plan at a steep initial discount as a sort of short-term “capital raise”.
