    Joplin is open source and has end to end encryption when syncing notes, just like Standard Notes. Joplin has a web clipper too so you can import things from web pages into your note books.

    Standard Notes are secure. Joplin has no local security whatsoever. Anyone with access to your computer can access everything in done in Joplin

    Standard Notes uses much less resources, is encrypted, open-source, and private.

    One Note is junk.

    It's available on pretty much every device and syncs notebooks very well.

    OneNote is an all in one note taking, sketching, etc. webapp. Standard Notes is a simple note taking service although extendable with the paid service
