Simplenote is a free note taking software that comes with note revision feature. No matter how many times you edit a particular note, it stores a revision history of that particular note and lets you restore any revision easily. This is really an important feature not available in many other note makers.

Apart from this, you can also share notes with other Simplenote users. All the collaborators will be able to edit the shared note and changes are reflected quickly. If you don’t want to invite others for editing, you can simply generate a sharing URL to publicize your note and let others view your note using that link.
