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.
This means:
1) they are not able to see your private suff,
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.
All this means that Ciphernote has a huge security and privacy advantage over Evernote, Google Keep, OneNote, Nimbus and most of the others.
