Pros
Pro Supports end-to-end encryption
Ciphernote stores and syncs your data in a way that is not readable to Ciphernote admins because of end-to-end encryption.

2) if hackers break into their servers, they are also unable to see your stuff,
3) Ciphernote is unable to give your private data away to law enforcement or three letter agencies.
