I don't like software that connects to internet for no good reason.
I don't want your app to check for updates, I'll decide if and when I'd like to update it.
It also sucks that you haven't provided an option to disable update checks.
Since I am on linux and your app is distributed as an .AppImage - the binary gets random name on each run, so I can't set a permanent network rule to forbid it connecting to the internet - instead I get prompted every time.
Also, although blocks feature is nice - I still would like to be able to use tabs as well.
Also, I'd like to know where that info is getting stored on FileSystem: it is nice that the app saves it on the go, but I still would like to be able to work with the files directly.

It makes HTTP requests to fetch current exchange rates (for currency conversion) and to check for updates.

It still requires user interaction to actually apply the update.

It shouldn't be hard to fork it and disable currencies and auto updates. However, it sounds like Heynote might not be a good fit for you :).
