Simplenote is a note-taking application with Markdown support. In addition to being accessible via most web browsers,[1] cross-platform apps are available on Android, Linux, Windows, iOS, and macOS.
Simplenote has an externally accessible API, allowing other clients to be written: macOS Dashboard widget DashNote; nvPY, a cross-platform Simplenote client; amongst others. In addition, the macOS program Notational Velocity and the Windows utility ResophNotes can also sync with Simplenote.[2][3]
History
Simplenote was originally developed by Simperium in 2008.[4]
Simplenote Premium was introduced on November 23, 2009.[5] It removed ads and added extra features such as syncing Simplenote with Dropbox.[6]
Automattic acquired Simperium and Simplenote on January 24, 2013.[7] In September, Automattic released an Android version[8] and later relaunched Simplenote, which suspended the premium service and removed ads for all users.[9][10]
In May 2016, an official client for Linux for Simplenote was released.[11]
Automattic open sourced code for its Android, Electron, iOS, and macOS Simplenote apps in August 2016, making all its client apps open source.[12][13]
Reception
The application was reviewed by Mac Life,[14] reviewed in the book Lifehacker: The Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, and Better,[15] and covered in the book The Business of iPhone and iPad App Development.[16]
