User Reviews

SilentNotes is praised for its privacy-centric, ad-free, and open source design with offline and optional cloud syncing. Users appreciate its simple, customizable interface and effective note organization. However, multiple reviews highlight performance problems including crashes and slow starts, as well as missing features such as widgets, reminders, and better import/export capabilities. Some UI aspects like auto-scrolling reset and text size adjustment have been noted as inconvenient, alongside requests for improved safe note handling and unlocking methods.

Pros

Strong privacy features with no data collection and offline functionality
Supports optional syncing with cloud storage and cross-device synchronization
Open source (FOSS) with no ads, providing user trust and transparency
Easy to use with a clean, intuitive interface and note organization via tags
Customization options including dark mode and basic text formatting

Cons

Performance issues such as slow startup and occasional crashes causing data loss
Lack of some features like widget support, 'share to app', alarms/reminders, and undo/redo functionality
User interface quirks including note scrolling resetting to top on app switch and no easy way to increase text size
Issues with importing/exporting notes and limited import support from other apps
Inability to keep safe/protected notes open in background or use fingerprint to unlock them
