Never need to import / export your notes, as you always have control of the data. Apps may come and go, but your notes will always be with you.

Git has been chosen as a backend as self-hosting a Git server is much simpler than almost any other software, additionally there are already many commercial providers of Git. So you can choose who you want to trust with your notes. We currently dont support encrypting the notes, but its something were actively working on.
