I always wished Evernote would store my text as text and Alternote seems to be the first tool that (at least tricks me---in the good sense) that I can use Markdown to enter my notes.

So far it's a much better experience than the Evernote editor. Now if we can only figure out a way to shoehorn in some encryption...

Excellent app. Very clean interface. It's like your default note app, but connected with Evernote
