 (I don't even remember their names), then started tagging stuff in
Evernote, but none of them were as natural and easy-to-use as DayOne. It lacks
a lot of features, but the Markdown format and its general ease of use makes
up for that - I just press Control-Shift-D and start typing (or pasting a URL
+ it's HN discussion link for future reference). Occasionally I write down an
interesting quote or image, or a passage I've read in an article. Also, the
way it stores entries is using plist files, so I'm not afraid of platform
lock-in. If I find something better (like this Vesper app here), I'll just
write a convertor and translate those.plist files to the new format.

I haven't tried Vesper yet (probably will wait until there's an OS X client,
which is where I use DayOne 99% of the time), but it looks very nice and
promising.

Looks like they have punted on encryption for over a year, which seems like a
very weird and careless thing to do:

If encryption is your main requirement, you could try AnyLocker -
<http://anylockerapp.com>

It's main selling point is that it encrypts all your data (notes, pictures)
with SHA-256 before storing

 Evernote, but none of them were equally lifelike and easy - to - use as DayOne. It lacks 
 a set of features, but the Markdown format and its general rest of manipulation makes 
 up for that - I merely press Control - Shift - five hundred and start typing (or paste a URL 
 + it's HN discussion liaison for future reference). Occasionally I write down an 
 interesting quote or image, or a passage I've take in an article. Also, the 
 way it stores submission is using plist files, so I'm not afraid of platform

 write a convertor and translate those.plist file to the new format.
