Summary

ChromeNote syncs with Simplenote and also keeps a local copy so you can work offline, syncing when you're once again connected. Notes can be created, modified, deleted, and pinned.

The only major feature missing is tags. (Pinning and searching are implemented.)

Settings allow you to change the font, note colors, and syncing frequency.

When you run the app for the first time, or any time you haven't entered your Simplenote credentials, you're prompted to enter them. All you need to use ChromeNote is a free Simplenote account from simplenote.com; it's not necessary to use any Simplenote apps.

Doesn't support tags!? Why would you do that? Why would you not have tags? SimpleNote is so simple, it has no notebooks, no folders. The only thing it has is tags. Making a SimpleNote app without the tags is like serving soup without the bowl.

So far so good. I rely on Simplenote to sync to Scrivener, so I'm grateful to have this app on my Chromebook. Thank you developer. After using it for a couple of days now, I would be really grateful if a future release could have an option to hide the sidebar with all of the notes for full screen distraction free writing.
