Standard Notes vs Dendron

Notes are encrypted and secured so only you can decrypt them.

Editors, components, actions, and themes.

Faster and lighter than most notes apps.

Available on Web, Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and Linux.

Dendron does not pull notes off your system unless you want to explicitly. There are easy guides for syncing with Github or you can always use Dropbox, Onedrive etc. to sync your notes wherever you want.

If you're already developing in VSCode, it's great to have your notes in a familiar environment. Reduces switching costs and you can use familiar keybindings.

Dendron makes it easy to create and refactor hierarchies at will.

Dendron ships with a configuration for publishing your notes with Next.js. The resulting site is searchable and easy to navigate, and the VS Code extension can easily place links to notes in your clipboard for rapid sharing.

You can literally just start writing; Dendron doesn't force you into bullets, folders, projects, etc. You build your vault the way you want it, and Dendron takes care of the presentation.

Dendron's developers are always putting out videos and office hours to help others become familiar with Dendron.
