Simplenote is a free, cloud-backed note-keeping app from Automattic that syncs across all your devices — Mac, iOS, Android, and web. It is designed for simplicity and speed: open it, write a thought, and your notes are automatically backed up and synchronized. The app supports searching notes instantly, organizing with tags and pins, sharing notes with others, and viewing version history. Simplenote works offline and syncs seamlessly when you reconnect. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon version of Simplenote is available through the Mac App Store. If you are currently running the Intel version under Rosetta, open the App Store app, search for Simplenote, and click Update. Alternatively, you can visit simplenote.com, navigate to the Mac download section, and fetch the latest build directly from there — the official download now ships the Universal Binary by default, so the standard installer will give you the native version. Your notes, tags, and settings will carry over immediately when you launch the new native build. The native version will run noticeably faster and use significantly less battery than the Rosetta-translated Intel binary.
