#### Standard Notes

# An end-to-end encrypted notes app for digitalists and professionals.

Standard Notes helps you gain control in a world that often feels out of control. Protect your life's work with end-to-end encryption, advanced security, and unmatched privacy controls.

## A steel vault for your most sensitive data.

Standard Notes protects your notes and files with 4x-audited industry-leading end-to-end encryption, meaning only you have access to the keys required to decrypt your information.

Safely store all your sensitive data in one place and access it from all your devices, resting assured that your data is always protected by the highest security standards.

## Write fearlessly.

Note-taking services like Evernote, Google Keep, Notion, and Simplenote cannot prevent employees and governments from reading your data. Standard Notes features advanced security measures and privacy controls that protect your data against hacks, data breaches, government access, and even employee access.

## Your notes and files, always.

Never worry about losing your data again. You'll always have an offline copy of your data, so you can access your notes and files even without an internet connection. Automated backups and secure cloud sync ensure that your data is safe and sound, even if your device is lost, damaged, or stolen.

## Take back your data.

Shape-shifting privacy policies and unauthorized access by #BigTech and other non-encrypted services can lead to leaks, doxing, financial fraud, identity theft, loss of control over your information, and other existential harms to you or your business. Safeguard your private data with zero-knowledge encryption and open, audited applications by Standard Notes.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install Standard Notes

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/standard-notes/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
