The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Many posts have discussed software that syncs with Simplenote (https://www.simplenote.com/), but as it turns out the program has it's own installation. I'm having some sync problems with ResophNotes and was frustrated the last time I tried AlephNote, so I decided to try out the official program.

The program appears to be Electron-based (as is common now with Web apps) and is a terrible resource hog, using ~180 megs disk space and 80 megs of RAM across two processes. A dedicated Firefox install that just runs Simplenote likely takes up fewer resources.

Steps: Uniextract didn't work so I ran the standard install, copy, uninstall route.

Status: not portable, writes to USER\AppData\Roaming\Simplenote.

I've been meaning to test that one like forever but never got around to do it. Now I'm glad I didn't, I have enough time wasters as it is. Thank you for testing, anyway.

Topic update: Simplenote v2.6.0 released 2021-02-08 (changelog and download at github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/releases/).
