This seems concerning: "The Service should not be used to store sensitive information such as bank account numbers, credit card information, or passwords."
Why would a notes app dictate what content can be stored in it?
It’s disclaiming. They are saying they do not believe their cloud-first tool is the appropriate place for that sort of content.
Simplenote is run responsibly by serious people. They are telling you what is absolutely common sense, in my mind: it’s not normal to store sensitive information on cloud notepad services you do not (and cannot!) pay for.
I suspect the reason is that their continuous-sync process (which is like SubEthaEdit etc.) does not work with notes encrypted at source.
Apple Notes makes more of this but it’s provided by a firm with several orders of magnitude more money and resources behind it.
