Evernote Alternative Notesnook is Now Open Source (UPDATED)
However, there are fewer privacy-focused alternatives to Standard Notes that provide features similar to the popular Evernote note-taking app.
Fortunately, we have a new option to join the list, i.e., Notesnook.
Notesnook recently went open-source under GPLv3 license to allow the community to help improve it and make sure the project does not go anywhere.
Currently, the developers want to focus on improving the GitHub repository, and then move on to add new features/other development activities.

Notesnook Private Notes App Takes the Open Source Route
Notesnook, an Evernote app alternative, officially open-sourced all its client apps (sync server will be open-sourced soon) on GitHub.
Open Source is a way that an increasing number of apps are choosing to get greater popularity among consumers. And there is a logical explanation for this.
When an app is Open Source, users’ trust in it skyrockets because there’s no way to hide malware, analytics, or anything else nefarious.
In other words, this approach guarantees transparency and that nothing remains hidden behind the curtains. As a result, instead of constantly questioning, for example, if it’s just another tool with built-in telemetry capabilities, the end user approaches it with trust.
