Simplenotote is a cross-platform note taking app (Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS and Android) developed by the creators of WordPress with markdown support.
In addition to cross-platform applications, it can be accessed through most web browsers.
It allows users to create and save text-based notes, categorize them with tags, and even share posts with friends.
The application is a favorite of the Linux community, since it is open source, you can keep your notes in sync on the Internet.
Simplenote has an externally accessible API, which allows other clients to write: Dashboard widget OS X DashNote, nvPY, a cross-platform SimpleNote client, among others.
Additionally, the OS X Notational Velocity program and the Windows ResophNotes utility can also be synchronized with Simplenote.
Simplenote has a clean design so it looks a lot like a basic text editor, which you can write as basic text or in reduction mode.
Although relatively basic, Simplenote has a few organizing tools, such as a search function and tagging support.
One feature that stands out is the ability to "go back in time." You can use a slider tool to jump to any previous point in a note you've edited, and then select it to restore it.
