Not currently. There are not so many alternatives for free that supports both iOS and OS X, btw. An alternative backend could be bittorrent sync, but the API are very young and tailored to web app, not desktop ones. Of course, the app will work not using dropbox (and without syncing devices).

That said, I'm open to suggestions. :)

Unfortunately, the encrypted notes (and the binary attachments) do not match very well with git inner working. Also, git is GPL-licensed and, you know, GPL and App Store don't play well together. A clean room implementation of git on iOS would be a significant project in itself.
