Hey, I am currently in the way of de-googling myself. Everything is in a good way except few services. I have some doubts regarding it.

Standard Notes - It is recently acquired by Proton which is known for having privacy focused google apps alternative.

Protonmail is in my list of email provider, I’m thinking regarding this mail provider.

Alternative that I’m avoiding - Notesnook

Reason - still buggy, popular for it’s encryption, not for usabilities.

Requirements of Note taking app: * Smooth and easy to use for daily usages * Privacy friendly (not that strict) * Cloud sync must have * Markdown optional better to have (not necessary) * Android app needed.

SimpleLogin : It is also a popular option in email forwarding service. It comes under Proton and it share same server of Proton.

Alternative that I’m avoiding : Anonaddy

Reason: Used both but I feel SimpleLogin better and speedy.

Requirements of Email forwarding service: * Privacy friendly * better UI and user experience. * Android app better to have.

Reason why I make this post — Standard Note and SimpleLogin both come under Proton and I’m also planning to take a plan for protonmail, all of these will be internally connected so is it a risk from privacy standpoint? As SimpleLogin will be linked with mail account so I don’t mind it but for Standard Note, I don’t want to connect it with my mail account. And, I can’t find any cloud based note taking app which is as privacy focused as Standard Note and Notesnook
