Is there an iPhone app that is the equivalent of Palm notes? Of course there are a million "notes" apps, but what I need is something that can synch notes on the phone with a desktop notes app, without putting the notes out on the web. My wife refuses to have notes containing personal information sent to a server somewhere (as with e.g. Evernote), regardless of how convenient the synching process is. As a result, she still carries around an old Palm Treo which she uses for that (and as a phone) as well as an iPhone. Whenever I try to convince her to consolidate the two, the issue of notes comes up. Unfortunately, as far as I know the only way iPhones communicate with other systems (such as her desktop Mac) is either over the net or by synching in iTunes, and neither is as promising for this purpose as good old Palm desktop.
I'm sure this privacy issue comes up for lots of people -- is there a solution?

Just pay the $ 45 per year and get the Evernote Pro account.
It will encrypt all data to and from the iPhone and your desktop app.

iPhone Notes are integrated with and sync with Mail Notes. I have private info I keep handy on my iPhone and I keep it synced that way. But Evernote Pro may be a better idea (it was a pain to set up Mail just to use Notes).

I forgot to mention: you can create specially encrypted notes in the Evernote desktop app.
Just type something, then select it and do a right-click - "encrypt selected text" and chose a password.
Voila. You don't need Evernote Pro for that.
The iPhone client pulls it up and decrypts it fine.
However, you can not (yet) create encrypted notes in the iPhone app.

How about a notes application that syncs with the desktop that also lets you place notes under different categories?
