WHOOT?
There are some bugs, sure. But keep in mind, RemNote is still quite new. There is tons of development, just look how many new features are added every new month:

And with every feature, new bugs are introduced, problems with other features etc. And also for every feature that is presentable, there are many bugfixes in the background that aren’t even mentioned.
I also leave tools that are buggy and have no development, no prospect to be fixed any time soon and no future. But RemNote is just the opposite. Every week RemNote becomes better and better.
I am really worried about the lack of possibility to store everything on my backup disk
In your account settings you have many export possibilities. Make a backup file, export as Anki flashcards and more.
Just the fact that i don’t have the app physically on my PC scares me off
Why does it scare you? Because you worry that RemNote will go offline forever tomorrow without a word from the developers? In the company FAQ they write:
In the extremely unlikely event that RemNote ever winds down (don’t worry - we are 100% committed and fully expect and plan to be here for the long-haul), we will release all code into an open source project. You could run RemNote as a local desktop app (RemNote already works fully offline) and/or the open source community could host RemNote independently.
- We are 100% committed to you and development of this tool. Period.
Every tool can go offline. If RemNote will go offline, it won’t happen anytime soon, not with this huge amount of development right now, but if it happens, we have plenty of options and time to export our knowledgebase to other tools. That there is no desktop app yet (it’s in development) won’t change anything and won’t make RemNote riskier. You can run RemNote as a progressive web app and use it locally on your computer without any internet connection. Create new flashcards, new notes, export data etc.
If you really have to leave, make sure to come back in a few weeks to check how much has improved in the meantime.
