Mac overwriting on startup

  I have SimpleNote on 3 devices:
  PC
  Mac
  Android

  Android and PC work fine and sync with each other no problem. However whenever I startup my Mac and open SimpleNote, it will force whatever is on the Mac to overwrite the current cloud notes (even if its nothing new and just an old version of notes). Obviously this is super annoying and makes the Mac version unusable, since it regularly tries to delete my notes.

  Once it does this, I go on my android and “restore” all the notes it overwrote. At that point the Mac app picks up the restoration and updates its notes properly.

  Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Hi. This should not happen. Are all your devices using the same time zone and date settings?

  Thanks for the reply. Yes they’re all using the same date/time

  Hey logged out and logged back in on Mac. Seems to be working for now, but I’ll have to test over a couple days~
