History
Simplenote was originally developed by Simperium in 2008.[4]
Simplenote Premium was introduced on November 23, 2009.[5] It removed ads and added extra features such as syncing Simplenote with Dropbox.[6]
Automattic acquired Simperium and Simplenote on January 24, 2013.[7] In September, Automattic released an Android version,[8] and later relaunched Simplenote, suspending the premium service and removing ads for all users.[9][10]
In May, 2016, an official client for Linux for Simplenote was released.
Automattic open sourced code for its iOS, Android, and macOS Simplenote apps in August 2016, making all its client apps open source.[11]

The application was reviewed by Mac Life,[12] reviewed in the book Lifehacker: The Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, and Better,[13] and covered in the book The Business of iPhone and iPad App Development.[14]
