Simplenote

You can import notes into Simplenote using the desktop app for Windows, Linux, and macOS, or the web app. For the desktop app, select File > Import Notes and choose the type of notes you want to import. For the web app, click the menu on the top left corner, then click on Settings, choose the Tools tab, and click on Import Notes. Supported formats include Simplenote exports (.json), plain text files, Markdown files, and Evernote exports (.enex).

You can export your notes from the web, Android, and desktop apps for Windows, Linux, and macOS. For the web app, click the menu on the top left corner, then click on Settings, choose the Tools tab, and click on Export Notes. For the Android app, open the navigation drawer, tap Settings, and tap Export data. For the desktop app, select File > Export Notes. Each method will download a .zip file of all your notes.

Yes, all Simplenote apps are designed to be used offline. You can access and edit your notes without an internet connection, provided you have signed in and downloaded all your notes while online. Changes made offline will sync to other devices once you reconnect to the internet. The web app requires an internet connection, but you can use a Progressive Web App (PWA) workaround for offline access on desktop.

All notes are synced between your device, the web app, and any desktop apps you have downloaded. When you create, edit, or delete notes in any of these locations, they automatically and wirelessly sync to the other locations as soon as you open the app.

No, you cannot upload or attach images directly to notes in Simplenote. However, you can use Markdown to embed an image by using the URL of an image hosted on the web. To embed an image, put an exclamation mark (!) before the enclosed image text in brackets (e.g., ![Image]) and then follow it immediately with the URL in parentheses (e.g., (https://cldup.com/DqxSeQlvga.png)).

To share a note or collaborate with others, use the Collaborate panel in the Action menu (the ellipsis icon) on the note you want to share and enter their email address. The shared note will then pop up in their list of notes if they have a Simplenote account. Note that you need to select notes individually to share them, as multiple notes cannot be shared at once. For view-only sharing, you can use the publish to web feature.

Keyboard shortcuts are available for the Android, Electron (Linux, Windows), and macOS apps. For Android, tap Ctrl , to see a list of shortcuts. For Electron, type Ctrl / to view all shortcuts. For macOS, use Command-based shortcuts like Command N for a new note or Command P to print. Specific shortcuts vary by app and screen.

Simplenote supports several note sorting options: Modified (Newest or Oldest), Created (Newest or Oldest), and Name (A-Z or Z-A). To access these options, go to Settings in your app and select the Sort order or Sort Type option. The specific steps vary slightly depending on the app you are using (Android, iOS, Electron, Mac, or web).
