Depends what are the features you thought for it.
Just a note writing pad. One note only, then a text file will do.
Many notes, showing list or thumbnail of them, then managing many text files will be difficult, use database.

Don't forget voice notes. And, eventually, taking a picture or two as a way to better define a note.
So, something like title/subject, date, text, audio and pictures. The three forms of notes could coexist under a single title/object or be three different kind of notes.

Ok, this is how to make a simple project a nightmare
A boring Sunday simple job transformed in a relatively complex and long lasting experience...the good part is that there's a lot to learn from it.
