nvPY is a cross-platform note-taking application with strong Markdown support and built-in encryption, making it suitable for users who prioritize security and organization. Laverna, on the other hand, is a web-based open-source app that focuses on simplicity and accessibility, with strong syncing capabilities through Dropbox but limited offline features.
