Simplenote, a cross-platform note-taking application

Simplenotote is a note-taking application for Linux and other platforms (Windows, Mac, iOS and Android) developed Automattic which is the same company behind the WordPress blogging platform.

Allows users to create and save text-based notes, categorize them with tags and even share posts with friends.

Although relatively basic, Simplenote it has some organizing tools, like a search function and tagging support.

One feature that stands out is the ability to "go back in time." You can use a slider tool to jump to any previous point in a note you've edited, and then select to restore it.

Optionally, Markdown editing can be enabled and once enabled, they can edit and preview the notes in the.

Both apps are also open source, so you can take a look under the hood or contribute to future changes if you like.

Simplenote developers took the fact that it syncs across the web and gives you the ability to collaborate with other people. You can share notes and then both of you can make edits.

Simplenote looks a lot like a basic text editor, housing a blank canvas that you can write as basic text or in reduction mode.
