# AlephNote
An extensible, lightweight desktop note client for multiple back-ends
![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mikescher/AlephNote/master/docs/preview.png)
AlephNote is a lightweight note taking desktop app usable with multiple back-ends:
### Standard Note
With the StandardNotePlugin your notes get synced with a [Standard File server](https://standardnotes.org/).
Your notes are locally encrypted and cannot be read from anyone but you
### Simplenote
With the SimpleNotePlugin you can sync your notes with the free [SimpleNote](https://simplenote.com/) online service
### Nextcloud/owncloud notes
The NextcloudPlugin syncs your notes with the [notes app](https://github.com/nextcloud/notes) running on you own private Nextcloud/Owncloud instance
### Local
You can also simply not use a remote back-end and either use the HeadlessPlugin (don't sync the notes anywhere) or the FilesystemPlugin (sync the notes with another folder).
## Installation
Simply download the latest [release](https://github.com/Mikescher/AlephNote/releases/latest) and extract it where you want (all settings etc are portable).
By default the program automatically searches for new versions and downloads them.
If there is demand for an installer I could make one, but personally I like portable programs more.
## System Requirements
Windows Version:
- dotNet 4.6 or higher
- Windows 7 or higher
Linux version
- TBA
## Special Features
- Fully featured [scintilla editor](http://www.scintilla.org/) for text display

- Simulate folders for notes with remote provider that do not support folders (path is encoded in filename)
