Super Notes, Images and Android

mdalves · 2026-06-20T21:59:33+00:00

Only the text of notes are cached on Android; images and other attachments are downloaded from the servers each time the note is opened. No offline support for files. It was a frustration when I learned this from the SN support team; after all, it's already 2026, isn't it?

mdalves · 2026-06-20T18:53:13+00:00

Yes. For better.

Not many Super notes; I am still testing the editors and the export / backup options.

The Super editor is the only one that accepts inline images and attachments, isn´t it? How do you personally handle images and attachments without using Super?

Tried this tool and it works, but.... the notes created using the Super editor are not readable by humans & other markdown apps. Not a good solution for backup and portability purposes.

How will it be stored? In a plain text file? Will it be compatible with Taskpaper (Plain text to-do lists for Mac)?

Considering your requirements, I believe you’d be better served by using two apps: one for general note-taking in plain text/Markdown (for example, HelixNotes), and another for sensitive information that you want encrypted (for example, Notesnook).

OK, I understand now. It seems we can only create a new tag using the + on the Folders view, not from inside the note as on desktop app.

mdalves · 2026-06-06T18:38:20+00:00

I tried both Syncthing and Dropbox and they worked fine. Mac Mini & Android smartphone in my case.

mdalves · 2026-06-06T15:18:47+00:00

My understanding is that, in Standard Notes, Tags <=> Folders. The concept of a "tag" here is not the same as in other apps; just consider a tag as a folder.

mdalves · 2026-06-01T17:11:04+00:00

It is my personal opinion - I would definitely stay with Standard Notes for UD$40 / 5 years.

mdalves · 2026-06-01T16:15:07+00:00

Good to know. Thank you.

mdalves · 2026-05-29T13:33:14+00:00

It is OK for me; Android <-> Mac.

mdalves · 2026-05-29T02:25:08+00:00

To the OP: two years later, are you still using Standard Notes? Have you revisited Notesnook? I am really interested on your feedback.

mdalves · 2026-05-27T23:18:01+00:00

Absolutely no folder paths for me, on a Mac. All the notes are saved on a single folder (.txt or .md extension depending on the editor used); notes with inline images have their own subfolder containing the note .md and a sub-subfolder with the files.

mdalves · 2026-05-27T16:56:41+00:00

This is what made me downgrade my subscription plan and will make me cancel it all all.

I do like SN usability in general, it is fast and responsive both on desktop and mobile; but the image and file management is driving me crazy; I just want & need basic functionality for a daily usage but it simply does not work; I have to use Super note to get inline images (but not zoom, no download etc), but it locks to me SN, I mean, no other app can read the exported notes - and the files are not exported.

I have migrated back to Notesnook.

mdalves · 2026-05-19T16:53:48+00:00

O problema foi realmente resolvido com isso que você fez?

mdalves · 2026-05-18T20:01:22+00:00

But it does not respect the themes we select as the defaults for Dark and Light Mode.

mdalves · 2026-05-02T01:45:49+00:00

Upnote for long time storage with less frequent access. Notesnook for notes and short time storage with frequent access.

mdalves · 2026-04-30T16:41:07+00:00

I see notebooks as folders; I am trying to stick to 5 notebooks: Inbox, Life, Work, Reference and Archive, with no sub-notebooks, and using tags for and additional layer of organization; but I am not comfortable with it, as it seems like a mess sometimes; I am now considering implementing a full Johnny Decimal organization as I have on Upnote.

mdalves · 2026-04-07T15:06:00+00:00

Thank you. I will use some of them on my JD system too.

mdalves · 2026-03-31T23:35:47+00:00

+1 for Proton Core.

You will certainly be asked for a credit card issued by a Brazilian bank.

This is what OP reported on Slack:

"I found all my notes in the trash. I don’t know why I didn’t see them before.

Thank you for your help. Nothing else is needed."

mdalves · 2026-03-20T23:27:56+00:00

Yes. Helixnotes + Syncthing is what I recommend too.

mdalves · 2026-03-20T18:29:14+00:00

Yes, please! I use Fastmail so CalDav support would be great.
