NerdsNote is loved for what it does not do

NerdsNote and the freedom of plain text
NerdsNote believes in plain text because plain text outlives every app, format, and passing trend. NerdsNote never traps your words inside a proprietary file that only one program can open. NerdsNote makes sure that whatever you write today will still open cleanly in ten years, on any device, in any editor. NerdsNote treats portability as a promise rather than a premium feature.
