They shouldn't have started using it in the first place, as it is a proprietary APP that spies on everything the user puts into it.

In the article someone mentioned Upnote (https://getupnote.com/) and it looks very good. Cross platform work sync. 50 notes in the free version and 99 cents a month for premium. Cross platform too.

As for me I wanted a more simple note taking app so I use Notesnook. I'm using the free version but there is a paid version. Includes sync on all versions and is cross platform.

I still use Tomboy Notes synced with Nextcloud & Dropbox. It's ancient, but I've never come across anything else that does these things:

• temporary sticky notes.
• permanent sticky notes.
• glorified clipboard buffer.
• personal wiki.
• light weight (no browser, database, or network required).
• one small window per note.
• optional categorization into notebooks.
• desktop pkeyboard shortcut for searching notes or opening new ones.

I really hate web based notes. I want small quick responsive windows beside my browser.
