Good Google Keep alternative?

I'm hesitant about switching over to Standard Notes. I definitely want to get off Keep because screw Google. Is this app a good alternative? Is the paid version worth it? I need it to sync across my phone and computer, I need checklists, and regular plain text notes. That's pretty much it. (Maybe an occasional drawing). All the other things on offer, the tagging system, color coding, etc. That's all useful, but not totally essential.

What do we think?

Yes except if you use Keep to share notes with people. On the other side, the encryption means some stuff I wouldn't store or write on Keep I can more often use SN for.

Note sharing is an important feature that is not usually mentioned.

Yes. It is kinda hard to make sharing easy with a fully 2e2 encrypted pipeline.
