The record

Purpose: SilentNotes is a privacy-focused note-taking app for writing and synchronizing notes.
Free and open source: The app is open source, free of ads, and does not collect personal data.
Editor: Its WYSIWYG editor supports basic formatting such as headers and lists without requiring a markup language.
To-do lists: To-do lists are optimized for touch screens and can be reordered.
Tags and search: Notes can have multiple tags, and users can filter notes by tags or search note text.
Offline use: The app does not require an internet connection and stores notes locally on the device.
Sync integrations: Synchronization supports FTP, WebDAV, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive.
Self-hosting: Users can synchronize through their own online storage, including an FTP account on a web host with read, write, and listing privileges.
Encryption in transit: Notes are encrypted on the device before synchronization, and the transfer code stays private on the device.
Protected notes: Notes in the password-protected safe are stored encrypted on the device; the safe uses a 256-bit key and Argon2id by default.
Device storage limitation: Unprotected notes are usually stored in readable form on the device, while encryption is applied before they are sent over the internet.
Backup limitation: Automatic backup is deactivated on Android and Windows, so users are responsible for their own backups.
Privacy: The maker states the app does not collect, use, or sell personal data and makes internet calls only for operation or when explicitly requested by the user.
Availability: The Windows app is available through the Microsoft Store and Android through Google Play; sideload downloads are also offered, with minimum requirements of Android 7.0 and Windows 10 version 1809.
